The transmission speed signal is transmitted by a sensor on the transmission. The transmission control module (TCM) uses the signal to determine the input shaft speed after the torque converter. This signal is used to compare the transmission speed with vehicle speed. The transmission control module (TCM) uses this comparison to calculate gear-shift timing. RPM and vehicle speed data affects the adjustment of system pressure, lock-up function control and engine torque- reduction. The result is smooth gear-shifting. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) TCM-0087 is stored if the control module registers when comparing, that the transmission speed signal is too high when the vehicle speed is above approximately 25 km/h (15.5 mph).
