Output Speed Sensor (OSS)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The output speed sensor (OSS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The OSS mounts to the transmission case below the control valve body assembly and connects to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the Park gear machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.39.3volts on the ISS/OSS supply voltage circuit from the TCM. As the front differential transfer drive gear assembly rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the Park gear. This signal is transmitted through the OSS signal circuit to the TCM. The TCM uses the OSS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed and gear ratio.
