Description And Operation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Kia Optima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Output Speed Sensor is a vital unit that measures the rate of rotation of the transaxle's turbine shaft and output shaft, and delivers the readings to the TCM. The sensor provides critical input data that's used in feedback control, damper clutch control, gear setting control, line pressure control, clutch activation pressure control, and sensor fault analysis.
