2005 Lincoln Aviator Vehicle Speed Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the Vehicle Speed Sensor on 2005 Lincoln Aviator?

  A: Service and repair operations of the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor begin with vehicle elevating and suspension support. The front driveshaft of 4x4 vehicles must be disconnected from the transfer case and front differential before removing the front driveshaft from the vehicle. The service process starts with removing the shift cable and bracket followed by disconnecting the TSS sensor electrical connector and extracting the TSS sensor through unscrewing its screw and pulling it out from the transmission. Check the condition of the TSS sensor O-ring and perform replacement if it shows any signs of damage. Before assembly inspect the O-ring seal for damage then apply petroleum jelly to it as protection against damage. Fit the TSS sensor into its placement in the transmission before rotating the TSS sensor screw to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Reinstall the shift cable with the bracket while tightening it to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). Then securely connect the TSS sensor electrical connector. The 4x4 front driveshaft must be replaced following installation of transfer case connection at 30 Nm torque and front differential connection at 18 Nm torque.
