Pinpoint Test D: TSS Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Refer to the Transaxle Vehicle Harness Connector illustrations within the TRANSAXLE CONNECTOR LAYOUTS  procedure .
  1. D1 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS 
    • Check to make sure the Transmission Control Module (TCM) connector is fully seated, pins are fully engaged in connector and in good condition before proceeding.
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Monitor the PID for the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor.
    • Monitor and record speed.
    • Does the TSS match the engine RPM? 
      • Yes:  CLEAR all DTCs. ROAD TEST to verify concern is not present. Concern could be intermittent. If concern is still present or reappears, GO to D2.
      • No:  GO to D2.
  2. D2 CHECK TSS SENSOR RESISTANCE 
    • Remove the TCM.
    • Measure the resistance at the transaxle bulkhead electrical connector between pin 12 and 13.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
      • Yes:  CLEAR all DTCs. ROAD TEST to verify concern is not present. Concern could be intermittent. If concern is still present or reappears, GO to D3.
      • No:  GO to  D4.
  3. D3 CHECK TSS SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Remove the TCM.
    • Measure the resistance at the transaxle bulkhead electrical connector between pin 12 and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 
      • Yes:  INSTALL a new TCM and REFLASH to the latest level calibration. CLEAR all DTCs. ROAD TEST to verify concern is not present. Concern could be intermittent. If concern is still present or reappears, GO to D4.
      • No:  GO to D4.
  4. D4 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS 
    • Remove the transaxle side cover.
    • Measure the resistance at the TSS sensor electrical connector between pin 1 and 2.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
      • Yes:  CLEAR all DTCs. ROAD TEST to verify concern is not present. Concern could be intermittent. If concern is still present or reappears, INSTALL a new internal harness.
      • No:  The sensor is defective, INSTALL a new TSS sensor.
