The output speed sensor mounts in the case at the speed sensor rotor, which is pressed onto the spur
gear. An air gap of 0.1 mm - 1.3 mm (0.004 - 0.05 inch) is maintained between the sensor and the
teeth on the spur gear teeth. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil of wire.
As the differential rotates, an AC signal is generated by the output speed sensor (OSS).

The TCM monitors numerous inputs to determine the appropriate solenoid state combination and
transaxle gear for the vehicle operating conditions.
The TCM sends a 5 volt reference signal to the temperature sensor and measures the voltage rise in
the electrical circuit. A higher fluid temperature creates a higher resistance in the temperature sen-
sor, thereby measuring a lower voltage signal. The TCM measures this voltage as another input to help
control line pressure, shift schedules and TCC apply.
When transaxle fluid temperature reaches 140°C (284°F) the TCM enters “hot mode.” Above this
temperature the TCM modifies transaxle shift schedules and TCC apply in an attempt to reduce fluid
temperature by reducing transaxle heat generation. During hot mode the TCM applies the TCC at all
times in fourth gear.

Also, the TCM commands the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts earlier to help reduce fluid heat generation. Hot mode
may not be available on some applications.
Carefully limit twisting or wiggling the connector during removal. Bent pins can occur. DO NOT pry the
connector off with a screwdriver or other tool. To reinstall the external wiring connector, first orient
the pins by lining up arrows on each half of the connector. Push the connector straight down into the
transaxle without twisting or angling the mating parts. The connector should click into place with a
positive feel and/or noise.
