2000 Ford F-150 Vehicle Speed Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the Vehicle Speed Sensor on 2000 Ford F-150?

  A: The service and repair of the Transmission Speed Sensor requires drive shaft removal together with rear transmission mount nuts. A proper level of caution must be maintained when elevating the transmission because contact with the underbody might result in damage to both Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) and Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensors. The rear transmission mount should be separated by removing it first and then elevating the transmission above the rear crossmember support to remove the attaching bolts. You need to lower the transmission to expose the TSS and OSS sensors before removing the TSS by uninstalling its bolt and the sensor. Detachment of the OSS begins by loosening its bolt while removing the sensor component. The installation requires o-ring lubrication and proper placement of the OSS sensor which needs to be fastened with a bolt. You must perform the identical lubrication process on the TSS sensor before installing it. You should exercise caution to prevent raising the transmission back too high when installing the rear transmission mount. You should begin by raising the transmission, mounting the rear transmission support, tightening the bolts then lowering the transmission onto the rear crossmember before finishing by tightening the rear transmission support nuts.
