Use the PID Chart for available diagnostic PIDs. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC PARAMETERS IDENTIFICATION (PID) CHART in this service information.
- D1 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
- Select PARK.
- Ignition OFF.
- Check to make sure transmission vehicle harness C1385, C193, C1387 and C175T are fully seated, terminals are fully engaged in the connector and are in good condition before proceeding.
- Connect the scan tool.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PID List.
- Select and monitor the appropriate PID for the suspected sensor(s): Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor, intermediate shaft speed sensor or Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor.PID DESCRIPTION
PID Description Value ISS_SRC Unfiltered intermediate shaft speed signal rpm OSS_SRC Unfiltered OSS signal rpm TSS_SRC Unfiltered TSS signal rpm - Can the appropriate sensor(s) be selected and monitored?
- Yes: Continue to monitor the suspect sensor(s). GO to D2
- No: REPEAT procedure to enter PID. If the sensor(s) cannot be monitored using the diagnostic equipment, REFER to the INTRODUCTION article for diagnosis of the PCM.
- D2 DRIVE CYCLE TEST
- While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transmission upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
- Does the TSS , intermediate shaft speed sensor or OSS sensor rpm PIDs increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed?
- D3 DRIVE CYCLE TEST ERRATIC
- While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transmission upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
- Is the TSS , intermediate shaft speed sensor or OSS sensor rpm PID signal erratic (drop to zero or near zero and return to normal operation)?
- Yes: If the sensor signal is erratic, there may be an intermittent concern in the vehicle harness sensor or connector. GO to D4
- No: CLEAR the DTCs. RERUN the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) test.
- D4 CHECK FOR SENSOR BATTERY VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: OSS Sensor C193.
- Disconnect: TSS /Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor C1387.
- Inspect for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion or loose wires.
- Ignition ON.
- For the OSS , measure the voltage between C1387-1, circuit LE111 (VT/GN), harness side and ground.
- For the TSS /intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the voltage between C1387-1, circuit LE111 (VT/GN), harness side and ground.
- Is voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes: GO to D5
- No: REPAIR the open in circuit LE111 (VT/GN). CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D5 CHECK THE TRANSMISSION VEHICLE HARNESS CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: PCM C175T.
- Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C1385.
- For TSS
/intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the resistance between the speed sensor C1387 and PCM C175T using the following chart.CIRCUIT REFERENCE CHART

- Yes: GO to D6
- No: REPAIR the circuit that is open. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D6 CHECK THE TRANSMISSION VEHICLE HARNESS CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between TSS
/intermediate shaft speed sensor C1387, harness side and ground using the following chart.CIRCUIT REFERENCE CHART
TSS /Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit Ground C1387-1 LE111 (VT/GN) Ground C1387-2 RET24 (BN/BUT) Ground C1387-3 VET33 (WH/OG) Ground C1387-4 VE744 (GY/BN) Ground - Measure the resistance between OSS
C193, harness side and ground using the following chart.CIRCUIT REFERENCE CHART
OSS Circuit Ground C193-1 LE111 (VT/GN) Ground C193-2 RET04 (YE/OG) Ground C193-3 RET24 (BN/BU) Ground - Is resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes: If DTC P0715, P0717, P0718, P0719, P0793 and/or P0794 were set, REPLACE the TSS /intermediate shaft speed sensor. If DTC P0720, P0721 and/or P0722 were set, REPLACE the OSS sensor. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: INSPECT and REPAIR the circuit shorted to ground. If a short to ground was not found, REPLACE the PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
