What makes you think it's the sensor ? Could be a wiring issue , PCM - engine computer .
Test Step
Result / Action to Take
E1 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS SET UP
- Check to make sure the transaxle harness connectors are fully seated, terminals are fully engaged in the connector and in good condition before proceeding.
- Connect the diagnostic tool.
- Key in ON position.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Diagnostic Data Link.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: PCM.
- Select Trans Priority.
- Select PID/Data Monitor and Record.
- Select the following PIDs: TSS or OSS.
- Does vehicle enter PID/Data Monitor and Record?
Yes
REMAIN in PID/Data. GO to E2 .
No
REPEAT procedure to ENTER PID. If vehicle did not enter PID, REFER to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for diagnosis of PCM.
E2 DRIVE CYCLE TEST
- While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
- Does the TSS or OSS Speed PID increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed?
Yes
GO to E3 .
No
If the TSS or OSS Speed PID does not increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed, INSPECT for open or short in vehicle harness STGT, sensor, a PCM concern or internal hardware concern. GO to E4 .
E3 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 TSS or OSS Speed 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 E4 .
No
CLEAR all DTCs. Rerun OBD.
E4 CHECK POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND HARNESS FOR POWER
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: TSS Sensor Connector.
- Disconnect: OSS Sensor Connector.
- Key in ON position.
- For TSS, measure the voltage between TSS sensor connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between TSS sensor connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- For OSS, measure the voltage between OSS connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between OSS connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- Is there any voltage?
Yes
GO to E5 .
No
GO to E6 .
E5 CHECK HARNESS FOR SHORT TO POWER
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: PCM Connector.
- Key in ON position.
- For TSS, measure the voltage between TSS sensor connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between TSS sensor connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- For OSS, measure the voltage between OSS connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between OSS connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- Is there any voltage?
Yes
REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
INSTALL a new PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
E6 CHECK POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND HARNESS FOR GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Connect: PCM C415.
- For TSS, measure the resistance between TSS sensor connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between TSS sensor connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- For OSS, measure the resistance between OSS connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between OSS connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to E8 .
No
GO to E7 .
E7 CHECK HARNESS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: PCM Connector.
- For TSS, measure the resistance between TSS sensor connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between TSS sensor connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- For OSS, measure the resistance between OSS connector pin 1, harness side and ground; and between OSS connector pin 2, harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
E8 CHECK RESISTANCE OF TSS SENSOR OR OSS.
- For TSS sensor, measure the resistance between TSS sensor connector pin 1, component side and TSS sensor connector pin 2, component side.
- For OSS, measure the resistance between OSS connector pin 1, component side and OSS connector pin 2, component side.
- Record the resistance. Resistance should be as follows:
- OSS 675-775 ohms at -20°C (-4°F).
- OSS 800- 920 ohms at 21°C (70°F).
- OSS 1210-1390 ohms at 160°C (302°F).
- TSS 273-333 ohms at -20°C (-4°F).
- TSS 330-390 ohms at 21°C (70°F).
- TSS 487-601 ohms at 160°C (302°F).
- Is the resistance within specification for the appropriate sensor?
Yes
GO to E9 .
No
INSTALL a new sensor. TEST the system for normal operation.
E9 CHECK SENSORS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- For TSS sensor, measure the resistance between TSS sensor connector pin 1, component side and ground.
- For OSS, measure the resistance between OSS connector pin 1, component side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new TSS sensor or OSS. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REFER to Diagnosis By Symptom , for diagnosis of shift or torque converter concerns.
