Where is the Output Shaft Speed sensor on a 2001 Ford escape?

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor on a 2001 Ford Escape is located on the transmission case, near the output shaft flange. It's usually mounted on the side of the transmission, but the exact location might vary slightly depending on the specific transmission type (automatic or manual).

To be certain, you'll need to consult a repair manual specific to your 2001 Ford Escape's year, make, model, and engine/transmission combination. A Chilton's or Haynes manual, or an online service repair manual (like AllDataDIY or Mitchell 1), will have diagrams and detailed instructions to help you locate it precisely. Searching online for "[your specific transmission type] OSS sensor location" might also yield helpful images.

Remember to be careful when working around the transmission, as it contains hot fluids and moving parts.
