Is a Faulty Transmission Input Speed Sensor Behind Your Truck Troubles?
Tyler SpanglerA faulty Transmission Input Speed Sensor (TSS) in your truck can lead to various driveability issues, including erratic shifting, reduced fuel efficiency, and a triggered check engine light. The TSS monitors the speed of the transmission's input shaft and sends this data to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for optimal gear changes. Diagnosing a faulty TSS involves a visual inspection for damage or corrosion, using a scanner to compare the sensor's voltage output to manufacturer specifications, and inspecting the reluctor wheel for debris. Addressing the issue typically involves replacing the faulty sensor, repairing damaged wiring, and cleaning the reluctor wheel. Prompt attention to a malfunctioning TSS can restore your truck's performance and fuel efficiency, preventing further transmission damage.
