SOURCE: speed sensor diagram for 2000 ford ranger

It is in the hole (held in place by a Y shaped clamp) where the speedo cable used to go on the side of the trans, has 2 wires coming out of it, it is round with a round connector. Is this for an ABS problem? if so the sensor is on the top of the differential housing.
