8.20VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)
GENERAL
The vehicle speed sensor is a Hall Effect sensor that takes
readings off 4th gear in the transmission.
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transmission just
behind the transmission top cover.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect battery, negative cable first.
2. See Figure 8-54. Disconnect the vehicle speed sensor
connector [65].
3. Remove sensor mounting bolt and lift sensor from trans-
mission case.
NOTE
Before removing sensor wire, carefully note wire routing. It is
a good idea to lay the new sensor wire next to the old wire and
remove and replace the wires together, one cable strap at a
time, to ensure proper routing.

using mounting bolt. Tighten bolt to 84-108 in-lbs (9.5-
12.2 Nm).
2. Install connector [65] to speed sensor.
