The purpose of this test is to provide a simulated input/output speed sensor (ISS/OSS) signal to the control solenoid valve assembly ISS/OSS input circuits.

Transmission Input Speed Sensor

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ISS wiring harness connector X3 (1) from the control solenoid valve assembly.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 11 - 14 volts at terminal B.
  3. Ignition OFF, using the EL 35616Β  terminal test kit, connect the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator red lead to the ISS signal circuit terminal A on the TCM.
  4. Connect the black lead from the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator to ground.
  5. Set the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator to 5 volts, the frequency to 300 Hz, and the percent duty cycle to 50 or the normal position.
  6. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Transmission ISS parameter is between 495 - 505 RPM.

Transmission Output Speed Sensor

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the OSS wiring harness connector X4 (2) from the control solenoid valve assembly.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 11 - 14 volts at terminal B.
  3. Ignition OFF, using the EL 35616Β  terminal test kit, connect the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator red lead to the OSS signal circuit terminal A on the TCM.
  4. Connect the black lead from the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator to ground.
  5. Set the EL 38522Β  variable signal generator to 5 volts, the frequency to 300 Hz, and the percent duty cycle to 50 or the normal position.
  6. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Transmission OSS parameter is between 745 - 825 RPM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
