Theory Of Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Input Speed Sensor 1 (N2) is one of two hall effect speed sensors that are used by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to calculate the transmissions turbine speed. Since the turbine speed could not be measured directly, two of the drive elements are measured. Two input speed sensors are required because both elements are not active in all gears.
