Overdrive inhibitor sensor
Inhibits engaging overdrive if too slow a gear wheel or in this case broken
wires to the sensor. Looks as though transmission fluid makes the wiring sleeving go hard and brittle then vibration completes the job. No I don't know what its from , built into a 3/8 UNF stud though so localises it a bit I suppose . Is the system passive or active.? Magnet as a pole piece inside a coil probably, 330 ohm, 60nH. Spinning a steel cog in a drill , passive output is about 10mV sineish pk-pk 5mm from gear and about 100mV if 3mm from the gear. But also a lot of EMI from the drill motor so are these things used actively ? |

And yes, they are active, feeding an amplifier and pulse shaper to provide a final RPM value to the TCM. |

Googling I only found references to overdrive inhibitor switches not tachometer type sensors. So a standing 12V across them ? |

I hope gearboxes make good Faraday screens against ignition EMI, there is no braid screening around the signal wires though. |

Generally twisted pair is used (at least on the ones that I work with), and I've had little problems with EMI (though I do work primarily with diesel trucks so EMI won't be ignition based at least). These same transmission (for me) are used with gas engines however, so it appears to the designer that EMI won't be an issue. |
