The VSS on these cars is usually located on the top of the transmission case. You'll likely find it near the output shaft of the transmission, and it's connected to the transmission with a single wire and a connector. It might be held in place with a bolt or clip.
However, pinpointing the exact location without a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and model is difficult. A repair manual (either a physical copy or a digital version like a Haynes or Chilton manual) will have diagrams showing the exact location of the sensor and how to access it.
To find it yourself, you may need to:
* Consult a repair manual: This is the most reliable method.
* Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts) allow you to look up parts diagrams for your specific year, make, and model. Find the diagram for your transmission and look for the speed sensor.
* Carefully examine the top of the transmission case: Look for a small sensor with a single wire connection. Be cautious when inspecting, as working near moving parts in a vehicle is dangerous.
Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on anything electrical. If you're not comfortable performing this work yourself, it's best to take your car to a qualified mechanic.
