input/output speed sensor differences (3pin 4pin)
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 11:28 pm
hey, im nearly completed my tansmission changeover (after my tip tranny blew up, ordered another tip tranny, due to having paddle shifting rather than opting for the manual).
the auto i have is very slightly different, my original gearbox is my 97 gpvr box (which i assumed would be the same as the gpx 97+, but very slightly different).
up to installing the output/input sensors, my plugs on my car are 3 pin, the sensors on the new gpx box are 4 pin, i swapped the output sensor with my gpvr sensor, but my input sensor in my gpvr box was dammaged beyond repair, so i cannot switch it over
my question is, what is the 4th terminal in the sensor do? and can i just connect my 3 wires to the right 3 terminals? i have spent hours trying to trace the circuitry, and cant seem to distinguish the differences and where they lead to.
i could just do some resistance testing with the multi, but that is a bit of guess work. and i dont fully understand how that sensor works, so does anyone know how it works? (heat = resistance? or something).
or has anyone got a 3 pin sensor? i have a few sensors and a non limited slip diff that people can have or trade. soo keep that in mind if a sensor stuffs itself. thanks
