Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SC262 is engineered as an output shaft speed sensor for the automatic transmission. It mounts at the transmission and uses a plug-in electrical connection to communicate shaft speed data to the vehicle control system. Accurate speed input is important for shift timing, transmission operation, and drivability on vehicles such as Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, Ford Windstar, and Ford Freestar.

Standard Ignition manufactures this sensor with controlled production from component selection through finished assembly. The brand’s sensor coverage is broad across service applications, and this part number is listed for multiple Ford and Mercury models from 2000 through 2008. If you are replacing a failing transmission speed sensor, SC262 provides a service-ready option for the listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic or delayed transmission shifting
• Speed signal loss from the transmission output shaft sensor
• Illuminated transmission or check engine warning related to sensor input
• Harsh or inconsistent gear changes
• Drivability concerns tied to incorrect transmission speed data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission configuration before ordering, especially on 2000-2005 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models with the 19-bolt transmission pan note. Confirm connector style, mounting location, and terminal layout against the original sensor before installation. Clean the mounting area and inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damaged terminals before plugging in the replacement SC262.
