Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup, located at the park gear, that sends a signal to the powertrain control module to indicate transmission output shaft speed. The OSS sensor is mounted externally on the case. The OSS is used for torque converter clutch control, speed scheduling and to determine electronic pressure control.
