Circuit Description

A coil built into the output shaft speed sensor generates a 0-5 volt pulse signal at both ends of this coil when the output shaft rotates. The pulse signal frequency increases with a increase in output shaft speed. Both ends of the coil are connected to the PCM via the output shaft speed sensor connector. The PCM detects the output shaft speed by the signal input. The output shaft speed sensor generates the pulse signal as the hole in output shaft (4-speed) or direct planetary carrier (5-speed) passes the magnetic tip of the sensor.
