The Output Speed Sensor outputs pulse-signals according to the revolutions of the output shaft of the transmission. The Output Speed Sensor is installed in front of the Transfer Drive Gear to determine the Transfer Drive Gear rpms by counting the frequency of the pulses. This value, together with the throttle position data, is mainly used to decide the optimum gear position.
The TCM sets this code if the calculated value of the pulse-signal is noticeably different from the value calculated, using the Vehicle Speed Sensor output, when the vehicle is running faster than 30 km/h. The TCM will initiate the fail safe function if this code is detected.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Speed rationality check | ● Signal circuit is open or short ● Sensor power circuit is open ● Sensor ground circuit is open ● Faulty OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ● Faulty PCM |
Enable Conditions | ● Battery Voltage ≥ 10V ● Lever position : D,3,2,L ● State of brake : OFF | |
Threshold Value | ● Output speed = 0 | |
Diagnostic Time | ● More than 1sec | |
Fail Safe | ● Locked into 3rd or 2nd gear. ● Apply an electric current to Solenoide valve ● Manual shifting is possibe(2 nd → 3 rd ,3 rd → 2 nd) |

Does "output speed sensor " follow the referance data?
![]() | ▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or TCM(PCM)'s connector or was repaired and TCM(PCM) memory was not cleared. Throughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
![]() | ▶ Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
