Pinpoint Test F: Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor And OSS 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.
NOTE:
Refer to the Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor and Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor Connector illustrations Transaxle Connector Layouts .
- F1 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS SETUP
- Check to make sure the transaxle harness connectors are fully seated, terminals are fully engaged in connector and in good condition before proceeding.
- Connect the diagnostic tool.
- Key in ON position.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger Mode
- Select the intermediate shaft speed or OSS sensor PID.
- Does vehicle enter DataLogger Mode?
- YES : REMAIN in DataLogger Mode. Go to F2 .
- NO : REPEAT procedure to ENTER DataLogger Mode. If vehicle did not enter DataLogger Mode, REFER to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article for diagnosis of Transmission Control Module (TCM).
- F2 DRIVE CYCLE TEST
- While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
- Does the intermediate shaft speed or OSS sensor PID increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed?
- F3 DRIVE CYCLE TEST ERRATIC
- While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
- Is the intermediate shaft speed or OSS sensor PID signal erratic (drop to zero or near zero and return to normal operation)?
- YES : If the sensor signal is erratic, INSPECT for intermittent concern in the harness, sensor or connector. Go to F4 .
- NO : CLEAR all DTCs. RERUN On-Board Diagnostic (OBD).
- F4 CHECK THE SENSOR BATTERY SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor C1088
- Disconnect: OSS Sensor C193
- Disconnect: TCM C2352a
- For intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the resistance between sensor C1088-3, circuit CE613 (WH/VT) and ground.
- For OSS, measure the resistance between OSS sensor C193-3, circuit CE613 (WH/VT) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

- F6 CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between OSS sensor C193-1, circuit GD120 (BK/GN) and ground.
- Measure the resistance between intermediate shaft speed sensor C1088-1, circuit VET28 (GY/VT) and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to F7.
- NO : REPAIR the sensor ground circuit for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F7 CHECK THE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- For OSS sensor, measure the resistance between OSS sensor C193-2, circuit VET26 (BN/GN) and ground.
- For intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the resistance between intermediate shaft speed sensor C1088-2, circuit VE822 (YE/BU) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : Go to F8.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F8 CHECK THE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- For OSS sensor, measure the voltage between OSS sensor C193-2, circuit VET26 (BN/GN) and ground.
- For intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the voltage between intermediate shaft speed sensor C1088-2, circuit VE822 (YE/BU) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : REPAIR the circuit for a short to power. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to F9.
- F9 CHECK THE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: TCM C2352b
- For the OSS sensor, measure the resistance between OSS C193-2, circuit VET26 (BN/GN) and TCM C2352B-17, circuit VET26 (BN/GN).
- For the intermediate shaft speed sensor, measure the resistance between intermediate shaft speed sensor C1088-2, circuit VE822 (YE/BU) component side and TCM C2352B-19, circuit VE822 (YE/BU).
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- YES : Go to F10.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F10 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE SENSOR
- Connect: TCM C2352A
- Connect: TCM C2352B
