2. Park the vehicle in Neutral and apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the overflow container by gently squeezing the bottom locking tabs.

5. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry up the connector locking tab and then disconnect the output speed sensor connector.
6. Remove the old sensor using an 8mm socket.
7. Install the new sensor. Tighten the sensor to 18 ft-lbs.
8. Connect the output speed sensor connector.
9. Reinstall the transmission fill tube.
10. Reinstall the overflow container.
11. Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Note: The output speed sensor is sometimes called the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
