2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION Transmission Input and Output Speed Sensors
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 43 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, and 2005 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission speed sensors (turbine and output shaft) are analog inductive sensors that produce an AC sine wave similar to an ABS/ASC wheel speed sensor. The AC signal frequency is proportional to the rotation speed of the monitored components:

  • The turbine speed sensor scans a pulse wheel attached to the forward clutch housing.
  • The output shaft speed sensor scans a pulse wheel attached to the rear ring gear.
The GS 20 monitors these signals along with the engine speed signal (CAN) to calculate transmission slip ratio for plausibility and for the adaptive pressure control function. The sensors are monitored for plausible signals, opens and shorts. Specific fault codes are stored for defects with these sensors.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
