WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 Lincoln Navigator, 2015 Lincoln MKZ, 2015 Lincoln MKX, 2015 Lincoln MKT, and 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is generated.
