• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Output Shaft on 2003 Lincoln Aviator?

  A: Petroleum jelly should be used to lubricate the sensor O-ring before the sensor installation process for the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor. Before working on a 4x4 vehicle users must disconnect the front driveshaft. Place all 4x2 vehicles on a hoist after setting the transmission to PARK mode. The first step involves removing the shift cable and bracket after which you should remove components in their order. The removal of the OSS sensor starts with removing the OSS sensor screw followed by disconnecting the OSS sensor from the transmission. An inspection of the OSS sensor O-ring should take place to check for damage; if damage exists the technician should replace it with a fresh O-ring. After inspection and petroleum jelly treatment of the O-ring you should install the OSS sensor into the transmission before screw tightening. The complete process ends with executing the opposite procedure of removal.
