Pinpoint Test F: Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The transmission control module (TCM) is integrated into the mechatronic assembly. If installing a new transaxle or a mechatronic assembly, the TCM will need to be checked and recalibrated (reflashed) to the latest level calibration available.
