Transmission Range (TR) Position Sensor Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) Assembly is an internally mounted sensor is located next to the solenoid body.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) includes the detent spring, rooster comb and bracket.
The sensor is non adjustable and is not serviced independently.
The components of the TR position sensor are factory adjusted to each other and a new sensor must be installed as a calibrated assembly.
The TR position sensor contains electronic circuitry that provides the PCM a fixed frequency at a duty cycle for each of the various positions of the manual lever (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, M3, M2 and M1) to the PCM.
The PCM uses the TR position sensor signal for engine functions (start, reverse lamps) and for line pressure control, shift scheduling and TCC operation.
