Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The intermediate shaft speed sensor is located on the transaxle housing over the intermediate shaft.

The intermediate shaft speed sensor is an inductive sensor which senses the speed of rotation of the intermediate shaft.

The signal is used for the following functions:

to determine the shift timing.
to control the shift operations.
to control the TCC.

If the intermediate shaft speed sensor fails, the signals of the OSS and TSS sensors are used as a substitute signal.
