Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for temperature compensating a torque sensor. One apparatus includes a shaft temperature detector and a temperature compensation circuit configured to alter tensile and compression voltages representative of tensile and compression stresss, respectively, due to a torque being applied to the shaft based on shaft temperature. A system includes a sensor configured to generate tensile and compression voltages representative of tensile and compression stresss, respectively, due to a torque being applied to a shaft, a shaft temperature detector, and a junction box. The junction box is configured to alter the tensile and compression voltages based on shaft temperature. One method includes receiving tensile and compression voltages representative of tensile and compression stresss, respectively, due to torque being applied to a shaft, altering the tensile and compression voltages based on shaft temperature, and determining the amount of torque based on the altered tensile and compression voltages.
