Ford Focus Service Manual: Transaxle Cooling - Description and Operation

The transmission fluid cooling system consists of the following:

• Oil-To-Air (OTA) transmission fluid combo cooler
• Transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
• Transmission fluid cooler inlet tube
• Transmission fluid cooler outlet tube

These vehicles are equipped with an external transmission fluid cooler. The transmission fluid cooler is part of the A/C condenser and cannot be serviced separately. The transmission fluid cooler is mounted in front of the engine radiator. Transmission fluid travels from the transaxle to the transmission fluid cooler and back to the transaxle. The transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission fluid to the outside air.
