The output speed sensor (OSS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The OSS mounts to the control valve upper body assembly and connects to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the output shaft machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the input/output speed sensor (ISS/OSS) supply voltage circuit from the transmission control module (TCM). As the output shaft rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the output shaft. This signal is transmitted through the OSS signal circuit to the TCM. The TCM uses the OSS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed and gear ratio.

Inspect the OSS, harness, connector and control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly pins for metallic debris and output shaft machined face for damage or misalignment. Proper torque of the OSS mounting bolt is critical to proper OSS operation. Use the J 35616 GM-approved terminal test kit for any test that requires probing the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly harness connector or a component harness connector.

Operate the vehicle at 16-32 km/h (10-20 mph) while observing the transmission OSS on the scan tool. The transmission OSS should vary with the vehicle speed and not drop out.
⇒ | If the parameter does not display OK, disconnect the ISS/OSS connector from the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and recheck the scan tool display. |
⇒ | If the transmission ISS/OSS supply voltage circuit status still displays OK, visually inspect the OSS, harness, connector, the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly pins for metallic debris and output shaft machined surface for damage or misalignment. |
⇒ | Repair or replace the damaged components. |
⇒ | The scan tool Transmission OSS parameter should display 100-400 RPM. |
⇒ | If the Transmission OSS parameter is between 100-400 RPM, replace the ISS/OSS assembly. |
⇒ | If no OSS RPM is displayed or the parameter is out of range, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
