Output Speed Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
The transmission output speed sensor signal is implausible compared to vehicle speed and gear ratio. Sometimes set together with VSS or input-speed-sensor codes.
Affected components
- Transmission output speed sensor
- Sensor wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Output speed sensor failed
- Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
- Low likelihood: Sensor mounting loose - signal damping
Possible symptoms
- Check engine or transmission warning light on
- Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
- Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
- Slipping or shuddering during gear changes
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
