Pinpoint Test J: Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If the scan tool is unable to access the transmission PIDs, REFER to the
INTRODUCTION - DIESEL MODELS
or ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) (SECTION 0)
.
NOTE:
If DTCs P0706, P0707, P0708, P1702, P1705 and/or P1921 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
NOTE:
Read and record all DTCs.
- J1 DRIVE CYCLE TEST
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: OSS PID: OSS_SRC.
- Monitor the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor PID while road testing the vehicle. Drive the vehicle so the transmission upshifts and downshifts through all the gears.
- Does the OSS sensor rpm increase and decrease with engine rpm and vehicle speed?
- Yes : REFER to SHIFT POINT ROAD TEST for further diagnosis.
- No : GO to J2.
- J2 CHECK THE OSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Transmission C1623.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Disconnect: Transmission Control Module (TCM) C1750.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Measure the resistance between the transmission vehicle harness C1623-17 circuit RET04 (YE/OG) and the TCM C1750-51.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to J3.
- No : REPAIR the OSS signal circuit for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J3 CHECK THE OSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between the TCM C1750-51 circuit RET04 (YE/OG) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to J4.
- No : REPAIR the OSS signal circuit for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J4 CHECK THE OSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- Ignition ON.
- Check for voltage between the TCM C1750-51 circuit RET04 (YE/OG) and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the OSS signal circuit for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to J5.
- J5 CHECK THE OSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR POWER
- Ignition OFF.
- Connect: PCM C1750.
- Ignition ON.
- Check for voltage between the transmission vehicle harness C1623-17 circuit RET04 (YE/OG) and ground.
- Is voltage greater than 4.6 volts?
- Yes : GO to J6.
- No : REPLACE the TCM. PROGRAM the TCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the solenoid strategy download procedure. REFER to SOLENOID BODY STRATEGY . TEST the system for normal operation.
- J6 CHECK THE OSS INTERNAL HARNESS FOR AN OPEN
- Remove the transmission fluid pan.
- Disconnect: 3-way OSS sensor connector.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Measure the resistance of the OSS sensor circuits between C1623 and the 3-way OSS sensor connector component side, using the following chart.
Transmission OSS Sensor Circuit Terminal C1623-12 OSS Power 1 C1623-17 OSS Signal 2 C1623-10 OSS Ground 3 - Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to J7.
- No : REPLACE the transmission internal harness. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J7 CHECK THE OSS INTERNAL HARNESS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance of the OSS sensor circuits between C1623 and ground using the following chart.
Transmission OSS Sensor Circuit Ground C1623-12 OSS Power Ground C1623-17 OSS Signal Ground C1623-10 OSS Ground Ground - Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : REPLACE the OSS sensor.
- No : REPLACE the transmission internal harness. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation. If DTCs P0720, P0721 and/or P0722 return, REPLACE the TCM. PROGRAM the TCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the solenoid strategy download procedure. REFER to SOLENOID BODY STRATEGY . TEST the system for normal operation.
- Measure the resistance of the OSS sensor circuits between C1623 and ground using the following chart.
