What does a turbine shaft speed sensor do?

The turbine shaft speed sensor monitors the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft. This data is used by the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) to calculate gear shift timing and clutch engagement. A faulty sensor can cause erratic gear changes, fault codes, or loss of drive.

What are the symptoms of a failing speed sensor?

Common symptoms include hesitation or jerking during gear changes, transmission warning lights, fault codes relating to turbine shaft speed signal, and in some cases the gearbox entering limp mode. Replacing the sensor with a correct OE-specification unit typically resolves these issues.

Is this an OE or aftermarket part?

This sensor is supplied to OE specification and cross-references to Ford part number AE8P7M101AA. It is suitable for direct replacement in DCT250/DPS6 Powershift gearboxes.
