Subject: Discontinuation of the overdrive speed sensor (ODS sensor) on the 5R55E automatic transmission
The connection for the overdrive speed sensor (ODS sensor) has been discontinued in production of the 5R55E automatic transmission. The open circuit in the unconnected multiplug can cause a fault signal in the powertrain control module and generate a fault code.
To avoid this concern, when the transmission is renewed or the transmission housing cover is exchanged, cut the unconnected multiplug at the transmission housing and join the cable ends using a crimped/soldered connector. New transmission housings installed in production no longer have a drilling for the ODS sensor.
Also, during service work on the 5R55E automatic transmission, the ODS sensor multiplug should be disconnected, the connector cut off and the cable ends joined together using a crimped/soldered connector. The ODS sensor remains in the transmission housing.
