Circuit Description
12 V Reference Regulated voltage supplied by the control module.
Signal
  • The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to ground.
  • The sensor produces a frequency modulated signal.
Component Description
B14A Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor The sensor contains a hall-effect sensor and additional electronics that processes the signal. It detects the change of strength of the magnetic field caused by the reluctor ring. When the strength changes, the sensor changes the amount of current it consumes. This results in a square wave signal of the current, while the voltage stays constant. The control module detects the frequency in which the current changes, which is proportional to the rotational speed.
K71 Transmission Control Module The control module receives information from a variety of sensors, switches and serial data information from other control modules. This information is used to control a combination of solenoid valves to obtain the correct line pressure, gear ratio and torque converter clutch operation.
K71 is part of the component: Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly
Park Gear
  • The reluctor ring has 23 teeth, magnetic segments, or indentations.
  • The following components rotate together:
    • Output Carrier Transfer Drive Gear Hub Assembly
    • Park Gear
