Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The intermediate shaft speed sensor is located in the transmission housing over the transmission intermediate shaft.

The intermediate shaft speed sensor is an inductive sensor which senses the speed of rotation of the transmission input shaft.

The signal is used for the following functions:

To determine the shift timing.
To control the shift operations.
To control the torque converter clutch.

If the intermediate shaft speed sensor fails, the signal of the output shaft speed and turbine shaft speed sensors is used as a substitute signal.
