  • @canobd2 thanks i looked but now luck,the only one that looks close to the one in this video is on top of intake manifold

  • It is located on the transmission top rear (near the axels).

  • @canobd2 would the sensor on a 4 cylinder look the same as the 6 cylinder,or different.

  • Hey canobd2. I bought a vss for my 02 altima and had a mechanic install it but my speedomoter still bounces. I put in a cam sensor and it still bounces up and down most of the time or says im going 0 mph when im driving any idea on what can be wrong?

  • Your problem might be your speedometer, I would have the mechanic that installed take a look at it. Good luck!

  • I have a 1991 plymouth grand voyager and its stuck in first gear. what do you think it could be

  • Maybe a bad transmission, low on fluid, bad solenoid(s), etc.?

  • Hi, ive got a 1994 Daihatsu Mira L200S, ive recently noticed that the speedo isnt working, but also ive found out too that i need to replace my clutch, is there any link to the clutch problem that is also making my speedo have problems or is it that my VSS is cactus? Ta :)

  • I do not think your VSS problem and your clutch problem are related. Good luck!

  • I have a 98 sentra that started to jump around with speed at first but now it almost rarely moves my gas and temperature gauge are working fine should I replace the VSS

  • Your 98 Sentra might have a bad VSS however I would test it before replacing it just to make sure.

  • @canobd2 thanks for the reply how would I go about testing it? I'm trying to avoid seeing a mechanic I know my way around a car but don't have a computer to test for the proper codes if that's what you mean thank again :)

  • My 97 Camry apparently needs it's Direct Clutch Speed Sensor replaced so it can pass smog. Is the speed sensor you are replacing in this video different then a Direct Clutch Speed Sensor, or are they one and the same?

  • No, the part that we are changing in the video is a vehicle speed sensor not a direct clutch speed sensor.

  • @canobd2 Ah ok, thank you!

  • nice video.. you make it seems easy !!!! my saturn 1998 speedometer does not work during the first miles then it starts working on the road.. should i replace the sensor??

  • You might have a bad vehicle speed sensor, however I would test it before replacing it.

  • how would you know that it needed to be replaced?

  • If you test it and the test show that it is bad then replace it.

  • What about A 1996 Mazda 626 V6?

  • The VSS for your 1996 626 is located on the top rear of the transmission.

  • What's the difference between output speed sensor and a VSS? Also, I have a 99 Eclipse automatic tran. that won't go passed 2nd gear. Any idea if the VSS affects that?

  • Some manufactures use the output speed sensor instead of a VSS. The problems that you’re having with your car dose not sound like a VSS problem.

  • where is the input and output speed sensors located on 1998 acura CL 3.0

  • Your 1998 CL uses the countershaft speed sensor for the vehicle speed sensor.

  • I have a 81 mustang with a 302ci V8 any idea where the vss is? it says im going 60 but im actually going 55

  • The VSS for your Mustang should be on the left side of the transmission on the tail shaft.

  • @canobd2 great video, where is the input and output speed sensors located for 1998 acura CL. 3.0

  • @canobd2 i just bought 2003 saturn ion.the odemeter does not work.we have changed the whole of the odemeter and replaced it with a new one we bought form the junk yard.but stil the odometer does not move and it jumped from 64,00 to 200,00 mil.do u think it the sensor.i took it to autozone and it gave a code and when they checked the code.it says ecm.i dont know what that.and the guy could not tell me anything.please help.thanks

  • What code did you get? It could be your vehicle speed sensor.

  • @canobd2 it says P0650

  • With that code it looks like you may have a bad instrument panel cluster, faulty wiring, and or a bad engine control module. If you do not have a manual for your vehicle you might want to get one so that you can follow the trouble tree. Good Luck!

  • Can anyone tell me where the input & output sensors are for a 2000 Dodge Stratus? It's got the 2.4 4 cylinder. Shop wants $150 to do them, thought I could do it myself.

  • The input speed sensor is located right above the transmission solenoid pack and the output speed sensor is located to the right of the input speed sensor.

  • i have a1996 Honda Accord 2.2L MFI VTEC 4cyl and was wondering where my VSS is located. Thank you.:)

  • Your Accord VSS is located on the top of the transmission (near the rear, below the thermostat).

  • Hi, I have a 1999 Lexus GS300 would you know where the Trans Speed sensor is located? Thank you

  • The Input/Turbine Speed Sensor (VSS) for your GS300 is located on the left side of the transmission right behind the bell housing.

  • @canobd2 thank you for your help, is this on the exterior of the transmission?

    how long would you say it takes to replace?

  • No problem, the speed sensor is external, and should take about 1 hour.

  • I have a 2001 Kia Sephia and was wondering where my VSS is located. Thank you

  • The VSS for your 2001 Sephia is located on the top rear of the transmission.

  • Hi, I have a 2006 Nissan Altima, Do you know where the speed sensor is located?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • The Vehicle Speed Sensor for your 2006 Altima is located on the top rear of the transmission.

  • Hi my VSS went off today. I have a 2004 Buick Lesabre where is it located at?

  • The vehicle speed sensor is located on the right rear of the transmission (right above the axle).

  • how much is it to get it fixed or replaced?, also can a bad fuse or the alternator be the promble? <-- might be a stupid question but i dont know

  • It depends on the vehicle as far as the parts and labor cost. It could be a bad fuse causing your problem; your alternator has nothing to do with it.

  • I have a 2000 corolla ce automatic, my car shifts hard when going from park to drive to reverse. It also shifts hard between gears, there is no check engine light on and my speedo seems to be working fine, I was told it could be my speed sensor? I was also told it could be a motor mount?? If it is the speed sensor where would it be located?

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • I don't think the vehicle speed sensor is your problem; however it is located on the top rear of the transmission. Good Luck!!

  • I have an 01 f150 4WD 5.4l. Where is the VSS?

  • The VSS (Ford calls it output shaft speed sensor) for your F150 is located on the left side of the transmission about 1/2 way down or 3/4 of the way down near the top of the transmission (it depends on what transmission you have). 

  • @canobd2 F150 for 2001 had both VSS and OSS sensors. VSS on the bell housing and OSS at the transmission extension on drivers side near the top. If VSS is shot, you usually have no tach (or incorrect readings at tach) OSS will set transmission into LHM (limp home mode, with a flashing O/D light) and screw up throttle actuator control system, causing it to stumble and run rough.

  • Isnt this the output sensor? I have a 1999 Hyundai Tiburon and cant find the input.

  • Your Tibron has a speed sensor locacted on the top of the transmission next to the transmission mount.

  • hello does anyone know where the speed sensor on a 98 expedition xlt is?

  • The vehicle speed sensor for your Expedition is located on the left side of the transmission on the tail shaft.

  • @canobd2 thanks and does the vss control the milage that you see??? if the vss is broken will the odometer still record miles driven??

  • As far as I know, if the vss is not working the odometer will not work.

  • @canobd2 thanks and does the vss control the milage that you see??? if the vss is broken will the odometer still record miles driven??

  • @canobd2 thanks and does the vss control the milage that you see??? if the vss is broken will the odometer still record miles driven??

  • @canobd2 thanks and does the vss control the milage that you see??? if the vss is broken will the odometer still record miles driven??

  • @canobd2 thanks and does the vss control the milage that you see??? if the vss is broken will the odometer still record miles driven??

  • where si speed sensor on a honda accord 1995?

  • If your Accord is a 4 cylinder than the speed sensor is located on the back side (near the fire wall) of the transmission right above the left axel shaft.

  • Where is the vehicle speed sensor for a 92 buick regal custom?

  • The vehicle speed sensor is located on the right rear of the engine, on the transmission.

  • Very Very helpful! Thank you! Got it all replaced & fixed now, thanks to this video :)

  • could a bad speed sensor cause a 2000 infiniti i30 to not want to shift out of first gear ? need the truth if im buying a $200 sensore. haha.

  • Your vehicle speed sensor has nothing to do with the shifting of your vehicle; it just monitors how fast you’re going.

  • Hey where's the vss on a 1998 for explorer limited AWD 5.0liter

  • The vss in your Explorer is located half-way down the right side of the transmission.

  • I have a 95 Mazda MX-6 which has a soft code 452 - VSS signal fault. There is no hard code and the only symptom is rough idling at a stop sign/light and occasionally the RPM will go high momentarily for no apparent reason. Any advise on the problem, location of the VSS on my vehicle, etc.

  • The code 452 is indicating something wrong with VSS and or wiring; the VSS is located on the back side (fire wall side) of the transmission. I do not think your rough idle problem is related to your VSS problem.

  • funny how exactly a year ago you did this and i need it :D

  • can you please help me to find my speed sendor on my 1998 volvo v 70

  • donde se ubica el speed sensor de un nissan altima 2003

    en el escaner marca el codigo{ p0725

  • This code P0725 you have is usually associated with a bad crankshaft position sensor. It's located on cylinder head (drives side). Good Luck!

  • i have a 1997 ford escort and i am having a time to trying to get the old vehicle speed sensor out but it broke in half so all thats left is the metal and nothing to grab onto so idk what to do now can someone help????

  • I have the same problem but I have a Chrysler Neon 2002, 2.0 liter, Do I have to change it the same way?

  • For your 2002 Neon I would start checking the conector and wiring at the sensor to make sure you have a good contact. If that is good test the VSS and replace if needed. Good Luck!

  • My speedo is working but the check engine light with error code indicating VSS came up when im driving around 80kmh or so. Speedo still working at that point and engine feels normal.

  • The light may have come on due to an intermittent error. Your vss could be on its way out, and or you can clear it and it may not come back on. Good Luck!

  • Comment removed

  • how do i replace the vss on a 2003 ford windstar 3.8 litre?...thanks

  • The vss on your van is called an output shaft speed sensor. Raise the van, remove the Y pipe and heat shield, disconnect OSS sensor (VSS), remove OSS sensor cover, remove bolt, and sensor. Good Luck!

  • @deltaking59 by the way, would that be the reason my speedometer is not working?

  • how do i replace a speed sensor on a 97 blazer 4.3 4x4 i know where its at but does it have a special tool it screws in

  • This should be a straight forward replacement. Good Luck!

  • would you happen to know where i can find the vss on a 98 monte carlo LS v6 3.1L

  • The vss for your 1998 Monte Carlo is located on the right rear of your transmission.

  • 1999 town and country, 3.8, keeps going into limp mode. changed input sensor, output sensor, and trans shift solenoid. No such luck. Have 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear ratio error codes and P700 code (we got from autozone). took to trans shop they said trans is bad. Probably the overdrive is out. Does this sound right to you?

  • Any idea about vss location on a 97 subaru impreza l

  • The vehicle speed sensor in your 97 Subaru is located on the tail housing of your transmission.

  • Would the location of the town and country be similar to the location in the neon? What symptoms exactly would you have if it is bad?

    thanks

  • Town & Country what year, engine size, all wheel drive, two wheel drive? Thanks!

  • I replaced the camshaft sensor and now the car won't fire it cranks nice but that's it????

  • My 96 Nissan Altima has had a problem with speedometer since I had it sometimes it worked sometimes it did not. All of a sudden it has been idling very rough and now it will not recover from rough idle in drive and I can not move it. I replaced camshaft sensor and problem still exist do you think it is the speed sensor? I was under the impression I had to get under car to replace it. Do you know where it is located. Thanks

  • The vss for your 1996 Altima is located on the back side of your transmission next to the fire wall. The vss may fix your speedometer problem, but I do not think it will fix your idle issue. Good Luck!

  • No, it does not sound like a vss problem. It sounds like a transmission problem. Good Luck

    the speedometer suddenly stopped working, was intermittent for a few days and has once again ceased working at all (2 weeks). does this sound like a vss or a wiring issue?

  • Yes, the vss is in that same general area, it sounds like you’re on the right track (make sure you have good connections).

  • Thank you very much for your help !!!

  • can you tell me where is th vss in a 2001 impala

  • The vss for your Impala is located on the top right (outer) part of your transmission. You can get to it by removing your right front wheel. Good Luck!

  • No, the speed sensor is located under the rear head and behind the exhaust manifold on top of the transmission.
