Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup, located at the park gear/trigger wheel assembly, that sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to indicate transmission output shaft speed. The OSS is used for torque converter clutch control, speed scheduling and to determine electronic pressure control.
