Pinpoint Test E : OSS (Output Shaft Speed) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- E1 DRIVE CYCLE TESTNOTE: Read and record all DTCs.NOTE: If DTCs P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708, P0709, P1702, P1705 and/or P1921 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
- Using the diagnostic scan tool, monitor the OSS sensor PID OSS_SRC 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 The OSS sensor is operating correctly at this time. No GO to E2 - E2 CHECK FOR TSS DTCS
- Enter the following diagnostic mode: PCM Self-Test.
Are OSS DTCs P0715, P0716, or P0717 present?
Yes GO to Pinpoint Test D No GO to E3 - E3 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C1232E .
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Disconnect Transmission Vehicle Harness C1575 .
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to E4 No REPAIR transmission vehicle harness OSS sensor signal circuit for an open. - E4 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1575-15 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to E5 No REPAIR transmission vehicle harness OSS sensor signal circuit for a short to ground. - Measure:
- E5 CHECK THE OSS SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- Connect: PCM C1232E .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1575-15 Ground
Is the voltage less than or equal to 3 volts?
Yes If 0 volts, INSTALL a new PCM, REFER to: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) . PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. Refer to: Transmission Strategy Download . If the voltage is equal to 3 volts, INSTALL a new molded leadframe, REFER to: Shift Solenoids (SS) . CLEAR the DTCs. No REPAIR the short to power.
