3. ഉൽപ്പന്നം കഴിഞ്ഞുview ഘടകങ്ങളും
The 917-620 Automatic Transmission Speed Sensor is a critical component for monitoring the rotational speed of the transmission. It typically consists of a sensor body, an electrical connector, and a mounting bracket or flange.

ചിത്രം 1: Generic 917-620 Automatic Transmission Speed Sensor. This image shows the sensor's main body, the electrical connector at the top with two pins visible, and the metal mounting tab extending from the side. A red O-ring is visible on the lower part of the sensor body, indicating a sealing point.
The sensor is designed to provide precise readings to the vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM), which uses this data for accurate gear shifting and other transmission functions.
4. ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ
The installation of an automatic transmission speed sensor typically involves the following steps. കുറിപ്പ്: Specific procedures may vary by vehicle make and model. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for precise instructions.
- തയ്യാറാക്കൽ: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Allow the transmission to cool if it has been recently operated.
- സെൻസർ കണ്ടെത്തുക: Identify the location of the existing transmission speed sensor. This is often found on the transmission housing, typically near the output shaft or differential.
- ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ കണക്റ്റർ വിച്ഛേദിക്കുക: Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old sensor. Press any release tabs or slide locks before pulling the connector.
- പഴയ സെൻസർ നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Use an appropriate wrench or socket to loosen and remove the bolt or fastener securing the sensor. Gently pull the old sensor straight out from its mounting bore. Be prepared for a small amount of transmission fluid to leak out.
- മൗണ്ടിംഗ് ഏരിയ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Clean the sensor mounting bore and inspect it for any debris or damage. Ensure the new sensor's O-ring (if applicable) is properly seated and lubricated with a small amount of clean transmission fluid.
- പുതിയ സെൻസർ ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Insert the new Generic 917-620 sensor into the mounting bore. Ensure it is fully seated. Secure it with the retaining bolt or fastener. Tighten to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque. അമിതമായി മുറുക്കരുത്.
- ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ കണക്റ്റർ വീണ്ടും ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Reconnect the electrical connector to the new sensor, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- അവസാന ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation and any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A test drive may be necessary to confirm functionality.
5. ഓപ്പറേഷൻ
Once installed, the 917-620 Automatic Transmission Speed Sensor operates by generating an electrical signal proportional to the rotational speed of the transmission's output shaft. This signal is sent to the vehicle's control module.
The control module uses this speed data for various functions, including:
- Determining optimal shift points for the automatic transmission.
- Providing accurate vehicle speed readings to the speedometer.
- Assisting in the operation of cruise control and anti-lock braking systems (ABS).
- Detecting transmission slippage or other anomalies.
A properly functioning speed sensor is essential for the smooth and efficient operation of your vehicle's automatic transmission.
6. പരിപാലനം
The Generic 917-620 Automatic Transmission Speed Sensor is a sealed, maintenance-free component. No routine maintenance is required for the sensor itself.
However, it is advisable to:
- Ensure the electrical connector remains clean and free of corrosion.
- Periodically check for any signs of physical damage to the sensor or its wiring during routine vehicle inspections.
- Maintain proper transmission fluid levels and quality as per your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, as this can indirectly affect sensor longevity.
7. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you suspect an issue with your transmission speed sensor, consider the following common symptoms and potential solutions:
| ലക്ഷണം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate or erratic speedometer readings | Faulty speed sensor, wiring issue, or PCM/TCM problem. | Check sensor connection. Inspect wiring for damage. Scan for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Replace sensor if faulty. |
| Harsh or erratic transmission shifting | Incorrect speed signal affecting shift logic. | Verify sensor operation. Check transmission fluid level and condition. Consult a technician. |
| Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with speed sensor codes (e.g., P0720, P0721) | Sensor circuit malfunction or sensor failure. | Retrieve DTCs using an OBD-II scanner. Diagnose according to specific code. Replace sensor if indicated. |
| Cruise control not working | Speed signal required for cruise control operation is missing or incorrect. | Check speed sensor and its circuit. |
For complex issues or persistent problems, it is recommended to seek assistance from a certified automotive technician or a Dorman service center.
