Pinpoint Test E: OSS Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Refer to the Transmission Vehicle Harness Connector illustration within the Transmission Connector Layouts procedure
.
NOTE:
Refer to the Transmission Leadframe Connector illustration within the Transmission Connector Layouts procedure
.
NOTE:
If the scan tool is unable to access the transmission PIDs, refer to
INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS
.
NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
NOTE:
Read and record all DTCs.
NOTE:
If DTCs P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708, P0709, P1702, P1705 and/or P1921 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
- E1 DRIVE CYCLE TEST
- Connect the scan tool.
- 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 E2.
- E2 CHECK OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR POWER
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C1575.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 and ground.
- Is the voltage less than 4.8 volts?
- Yes : GO to E3.
- No : GO to E6.
- E3 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C175T.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine, measure the resistance between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 circuit VET26 (BN/GN) and PCM C175T-25.
- Disconnect: PCM C1381T.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Vehicles equipped with a 5.0L or 6.2L engine, measure the resistance between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 circuit VET26 (BN/GN) and PCM C1381T-14.
- Disconnect: PCM C1551E.
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine, measure the resistance between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 circuit RET04 (YE/OG) and PCM C1551E-12.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to E4.
- No : INSPECT and REPAIR transmission vehicle harness OSS signal circuit for an open. If an open circuit is not found, REPLACE the PCM, REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS . PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . TEST the system for normal operation.
- E4 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to E5.
- No : INSPECT and REPAIR transmission vehicle harness OSS signal circuit for a short to ground. If a short to ground is not found, REPLACE the PCM, REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS . PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . TEST the system for normal operation.
- E5 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- Connect: PCM C175T.
- Connect: PCM C1381T.
- Connect: PCM C1551E.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure for voltage between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15, and ground.
- Is voltage greater than 5.1 volts?
- Yes : INSPECT and REPAIR transmission vehicle harness OSS signal circuit for a short to power. If a short to power is not found, REPLACE the PCM, REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS . PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to E6.
- E6 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
- Measure the voltage between the transmission vehicle harness C1575-15 and C1575-5.
- Is voltage less than 4.8 volts?
- Yes : REPAIR the transmission vehicle harness signal return circuit for an open. If an open is not found, REPLACE the PCM, REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS . PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPLACE the molded leadframe, REFER to Main Control . CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
