Input Speed Sensor (ISS)

The input speed sensor (ISS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The ISS mounts to the transmission case cover assembly and connects to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the 3-5-R clutch piston housing machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.39.3 volts on the ISS/OSS Supply Voltage circuit from the TCM. As the 3-5-R/4-5-6 clutch piston housing rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the 3-5-R/4-5-6 clutch piston housing. This signal is transmitted through the ISS signal circuit to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. The TCM uses the ISS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed and gear ratio. The input speed sensor (ISS) is connected to the Control Solenoid (W/Body and TCM) Valve Assembly via the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly X3 (ISS) connector.
