Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition SC504 transmission speed sensor monitors output shaft speed so the transmission control system can track gear changes and driveline speed accurately. This part number SC504 is a practical OE-style replacement for Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback models, along with Tribeca and B9 Tribeca applications listed in the fitment data. It features a plug-in connector, 3-wire layout, and bolt-mount attachment for service on the transmission case.

This part cross-references SN8206 and VSS1038 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Erratic or inaccurate transmission speed signal readings
  • Transmission warning lights related to speed sensor faults
  • Harsh or delayed shifting caused by incorrect output shaft data
  • Diagnostic trouble codes tied to the output speed sensor circuit
  • Loss of transmission control input from a failed sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm connector shape, terminal style, and mounting style before installation. The SC504 uses a bolt-mount design with one mounting hole and a single connector, so the replacement should match the original sensor configuration on the vehicle. Inspect the harness connector and transmission case area for corrosion, damaged wiring, or debris before installing the new sensor.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for service applications, and SC504 is built to match the listed fitment and connector specifications for Subaru Legacy, Outback, Tribeca, and B9 Tribeca models.
