Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup, that sends a signal to the powertrain control module to indicate transmission turbine shaft speed. The TSS is mounted externally on the case. The PCM uses the TSS signal to help determine appropriate operating pressure and torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
