DescriptionNBAT0071The vehicle speed sensor´MTR is built into the speedometer
assembly. The sensor functions as an auxiliary device to the revo-
lution sensor when it is malfunctioning. The TCM will then use a
signal sent from the vehicle speed sensor´MTR.

DescriptionNBAT0224The turbine revolution sensor detects input shaft rpm (revolutions
per minute). It is located on the input side of the automatic trans-
mission. The vehicle speed sensor A/T (Revolution sensor) is
located on the output side of the automatic transmission. With the
two sensors, input and output shaft rpms are accurately detected.
The result is optimal shift timing during deceleration and improved
shifting.
