• Q: How to service and repair the Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Turbine Shaft on 2001 Ford Focus?

  A: Repairing and servicing the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor requires starting by removing the battery tray along with the air cleaner housing. The removal process begins with disconnecting the Mass Air Flow (MAP) sensor electrical connector and the crankcase ventilation hose along with the intake hose before gently pulling the air cleaner housing through the rubber bushes. Remove the air cleaner intake pipe which includes the resonator because it connects to the bracket. The TSS sensor electrical connector must be disconnected before you can remove the bolt which releases the TSS sensor. The inspection of TSS sensor bore should involve examining the O-ring seal to see if it has any nicks or cuts. Replace the O-ring with a new one when needed. Petroleum jelly application on the O-ring seal should come before putting in the TSS sensor along with reinstalling the electrical connector. Complete the installation of the bolt by putting thread sealant on the bolt threading before tightening it down.
