Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance

High severity

What it means

The intermediate shaft speed sensor (between input and output, used in CVT and dual-clutch boxes for slip detection between gear elements) is electrically intact, but its readings drift away from the model. The TCM cannot reliably detect slip in this stage.
