Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TSS is a Hall-effect type sensor that provides a signal to the PCM/ TCM that changes in frequency as the rotating speed of the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch cylinder varies.

The PCM/ TCM compares the TSS sensor signal with the engine speed information to determine the amount of slip occurring in the torque converter.

The PCM/ TCM also compares the TSS sensor signal with the OSS sensor signal to determine the gear ratio provided by the rear planetary gearset.

The PCM/ TCM uses the TSS sensor signal as an input for its strategies for shifts and TCC operation. The PCM/ TCM also uses the TSS sensor signal for transmission fault detection and diagnostics.
