Where is the rear differential speed sensor located?
This is another inside baseball type post concerning auto and truck repair. The first picture is of the Rear Differential Speed Sensor which is mistakenly replaced because of a code involving the Transmission Output Speed Sensor located in the left side bottom of the transmission tail-shaft.
How much does it cost to replace a transmission speed sensor?
Transmission speed sensors tend to cost around the same. Labor varies depending on the engine type, as some sensors are more accessible than others. If your mechanic needs to drop the transmission to replace a transmission sensor, you’re looking at bill around $800-1,000.
What is the name of the transmission speed sensor?
There are generally two speed sensors that work in conjunction to provide accurate transmission data to the vehicle’s powertrain control module. The first is known as the input shaft speed (ISS) sensor. As described, this sensor is used to monitor the speed of the transmission’s input shaft. The other sensor is the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor.
What happens when a transmission speed sensor goes out of alignment?
If either of these two sensors falls out of alignment or experiences electrical issues, it impacts the operation of the entire transmission.
