* 3-Speed Automatic (31TE): The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) for this transmission is typically located on the output shaft of the transmission, near the rear of the transmission case. It's often a single-wire sensor.
* 4-Speed Automatic (41TE or 42RE): These transmissions usually have the VSS located in the same general area as the 3-speed, on the output shaft near the rear of the transmission case. However, it might be a slightly different configuration or connector.
To be certain:
1. Check your vehicle's documentation: Your owner's manual or repair manual will show the exact location for your specific transmission type. This is the most reliable method.
2. Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual for your year and model Caravan will have diagrams showing the sensor location.
3. Use a parts lookup website: Enter your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) into a parts lookup website like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts. The diagram showing the parts for your transmission should clearly show the sensor's position.
Without knowing your specific transmission type, it's impossible to give a definitive answer. The information above provides general guidance, but using one of the methods listed above is crucial for accuracy. Incorrectly identifying the sensor could lead to unnecessary repairs.
