Circuit/System Description

The Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor assembly has 2 internal hall-effect type sensors, and is capable of sensing both speed and

direction. The Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor mounts to the A/T rear case assembly and is connected to the control solenoid

valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the hybrid direct, 2-3-4 clutch housing assembly machined teeth surface.

The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the OSS supply voltage circuit from the transmission control module. As the output shaft rotates, the sensor

produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the output shaft.

The two sensor elements in the Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor assembly are spaced approximately 1/2 a tooth apart.

* When the vehicle is moving in a forward direction, sensor A detects a particular tooth before sensor B.

* When the vehicle is moving in a reverse direction, sensor B detects a particular tooth before sensor A.

The electronics in the sensor combine the two signals and send a signal with a different pulse width. This signal is interpreted by the TCM for speed

and direction and is transmitted through the data communication circuits to the engine control module (ECM) and the hybrid powertrain control

module. The ECM, hybrid powertrain control module, and transmission control module compare the OSS signal with the ABS wheel speed sensor

signal.
