Q: How do you remove the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor)?
A: Loosen the left-front wheel lug nuts, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. Remove the inner fender splash shield. Remove the VSS hold-down bolt and clamp, then pull the sensor out of the transaxle case using a twisting motion. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to lubricate the O-ring with clean transaxle lubricant before installing.
A: To remove the sensor, start by turning the ignition key to OFF. Then, raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor and disengage the electrical harness from the bracket attached to the sensor. Next, remove the sensor retaining stud and take out the sensor. Dispose of the old O-ring and make sure to use a new one when installing the sensor, even if you plan on reusing the old sensor. To install the sensor, simply reverse the removal steps and tighten the sensor retaining stud securely.
