Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor





The TSS sensor is located in the transaxle housing over the transaxle input shaft.

The TSS sensor is an inductive sensor which senses the speed of rotation of the transaxle input shaft.

The signal is used for the following functions:

- to control the shift operations.
- to control the TCC.
- to check the torque converter slip.

If the TSS sensor fails, the signal of the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is used as a substitute signal.
