How are you grounding it?

Don't you need to measure it at various temps?

Are you talking about factory or aftermarket?

And again, how are you measuring it?

I didn't think the Lightning had a factory trans temp sensor.... Or was that suppose to be a trick question?

There is a trans temp sensor, but it's only read by the ECU.

That's interesting. JJ @ WMS says there is no trans sensor.

There is a ToT (Transmission Oil Temperature) sensor in the solenoid, it sends signal to the PCM and in certain Super Duty models there is a dash Trans Temp guage. For aftermarket guages, you can remove the pipe plug in the test pressure port and plug in the sensor there.
