2011 FORD KUGA sensor

Full lock-up mode of the TCC is not generated at
engine temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F).
Slip lock-up mode
In slip lock-up mode, slip in the TCC is permitted
in order to improve driving comfort. The hydraulic
pressure acting on the TCM varies in accordance
with the duty signal of the actuation signal
generated by the PWM for the TCC solenoid valve
for the TCC (SLU). The automatic transaxle
temperature increases in slip lock-up mode.
The TSS sensor
E112328
The TSS sensor is mounted at the top of the
transmission housing. It is an active sensor and is

The TSS sensor is a Hall sensor. It generates a
square-wave signal, the frequency of which varies
depending upon the speed of the transmission
input shaft.
The frequency of the square-wave signal increases
with the transmission input shaft speed. The TSS
sensor picks up the speed at the housing of the
1st - 5th gear clutch (C1).
The TCM uses the information from the TSS sensor
to determine the following parameters:
• Calculation of the torque reduction that needs to be requested by the PCM during shifting.
• Comparison of engine speed with transmission input shaft speed for calculation of torque
converter slip.
• Calculation of the shift points.
• Calculation of the engaging and disengaging point for the TCC (lock-up function).
• Calculation of the current gear ratios by comparison of the OSS sensor signal.

• When the engine is restarted (ignition switched off for approx. 15 seconds), the transaxle is no
longer in limp home mode. There is no longer
a fault indication on the instrument cluster, and
the MIL is off. However, the fault remains stored
in the TCM. If the fault is still present, limp home
mode is reactivated.

The sensor is an NTC (negative temperature

sensor. The voltage supply is 5 V. The transmission
fluid temperature is detected by measuring the
voltage drop across the NTC resistor.
The TCM uses the transmission fluid temperature
information for the following calculations:
• Transaxle shift points
• If the transmission fluid temperatures are too high, slip lock-up of the TCC is prevented.

The TR sensor
E125819
The TR sensor and the TCM form one unit. This
unit is located at the top of the transmission casing,
on the gear linkage.
Function
The TR sensor has three separate functions:
• Transmit a signal to the TCM about the selectedtransmission range.
• To transmit the signal to switch on the reversing lamps to the GEM when the selector lever is in
the 'R' position.
• To transmit the start enable signal to the PCM when the selector lever is in the 'P' or 'N'
position.
The TR sensor contains a permanent magnet and
a linear Hall detector. It produces a signal voltage
between 0 and 5 V. This signal voltage
corresponds to the selector lever position currently
chosen.
Voltage values for the different gears:
• P approximately 0.65 V
• R approximately 1.64 V
• N approximately 2.12 V
• D approximately 2.49 V
Consequences of signal failure
If the TR sensor fails, the MIL is activated and the
vehicle can be driven in emergency mode 4. The
vehicle can no longer be started for safety reasons
after the ignition is switched off because the TCM
does not detect the current transmission range.
If a shift solenoid valve fails, the MIL is activated
and the vehicle can be driven in the appropriate
emergency mode.
