Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The OSS sensor measures the input speed of the output shaft. The rotation direction is not measured.
The OSS sensor is located in the transaxle housing above the rotor in the differential.
The OSS sensor is an inductive sensor which detects the vehicle speed by means of a impulse ring on the differential.
The signal is used for the following functions among other things:
- to determine the shift timing.
- to supply the vehicle speed input signal for the TCM .
