IIRC... oil pressure is just the idiot light switch no specific pressure data.

I pulled my my boat and trailer (~1000 lbs) over pass this morning. I pushed her hard in the 75MPH range on some steep grades. Peak AT temp got up to around 208F (~97.77C). It normally ran in the 190s and about a 15 degree spread between the coolant and AT fluid as things heated up. That temp is still fine with this synthetic AT fluid.
Mine is always a few degrees apart when there isn't a load and then noticeably rose during heavy load. It's obvious on mine there are different sensors being polled.
IMO: If you are seeing 100% sync with coolant you are not likely reading the AT temp probe but coolant.
What software/hardware are you using?
I was using OBDLink today with their OBD adapter.

I was going to post a graph but I still had the log area setup to capture AT data for my GX 460. Maybe next time.
Another example during recent AT fluid swaps.. coolant warms up far faster than the AT. AT temp will be too cold still if you are using coolant as 122F temp indicator.

I haven't used Torque in a while.
You might want to test out the free OBDLink that comes with OBDLinkMX+ and loaded up the free Mazda add-ons within the app.
Android - OBD Link
IOS - OBD Link
"Transmission Fluid Temperature" will show up under: Network A ---> Transmission Control Module
I need to play around and see if the "Torque Converter Lockup State" will display. It does on my other vehicles.
I want to see if in lockup state there is some AT cooling from what I am familiar with in other vehicles.
To add in the Enhanced Diagnostics in OBD Link/Fusion:
Settings - Get Extras
Forscan app should work for this as well. https://forscan.org/home.html
Forscan is still called Forscan (lite for the phone version) but I don't think it's available on the Google app store. You can download it on their website though, at least on androids.So been researching on changing my trans fluid and came across this thread because I need to be able to see the temp to get the right level etc. I purchased the bafx OBDII, but haven't had any luck with any apps yet. Forscan seems to be Fordsys lite maybe? OBDlink seems to only work with its products. Are there any free ones that someone can confirm out these days just to read the trans temp? Torque Pro is now 5.99/week i think and maybe used to be a one time fee from what I read.
I have the 4 qts of the Mazda FZ oil and just want to do a drain/fill. I have a 2015 CX-5 AWD.
Thanks

Ah ok. I went to their site and the OBD I have is I guess based on ELM327 which they don't recommend but might still work so I'll give it a try. If not I may just return this one and get one they recommend.Forscan is still called Forscan (lite for the phone version) but I don't think it's available on the Google app store.

I installed it a couple weeks ago and it works with Vgate vLinker device. Transmission fluid temp is available as "TFT" on there. I just checked my ATF level yesterday using Forscan
Yeah, the reviews on ELM327 style devices indicate Forscan works with some but not others which is why I decided to order the Vgate vLinker they have listed on their website as it wasn't to expensive and I just wanted it to work.Ah ok.

I think he means he checked the level while using Forscan to verify the temperature.You checked the ATF LEVEL or the ATF TEMP with Forscan?
I'd love to know how to check the level if that's what you did.
Oh, yeah my wording was misleading.You checked the ATF LEVEL or the ATF TEMP with Forscan?
