FAIL, no engine stated, we cant open the hood and look, you must.
and no country stated, some countries use different smog parts.

why ask this out of context, you have symptoms,
you have DTC errors.?
what makes you think there is one, (books, guessing, net rumors)
?

4 bucks
that is the official factory service manual, FSM

i have a 2004 and had 3 engines , options
G16B SOHC I4
J20 DOHC I4
H25 V6
all work totally different, (EFI + smog devices_

log in ,look up our engine, see schematic
see all parts related to 02. every detail.

the 2002 has a very large number of 02 , OBD2 DTC errors possible
each has MEANINGS. and tests to find TRUE cause.l

pinking, aka, pinging, knock,and best of all detonation (truth it is)
pinging does not happen, deceleratiing ever, that is pure noise

pinging happens under load, (hills) and lean air fuel mixtures.
and a dead EGR valve.

so engine noise, buy a $5 stethoscope,
listen for exact source location
or get it serviced.

old post.,

Speed sensor located on transmission, looks like this:
except the yellow gear will be inside the transmission. It will have wires going to it. Unplug the connector and pull it out. Replace it the same way you took that one out.

maybe shifter adjustment, bad reverse signazors in trans.

for the most part the speed sensor is located on are near the transmission give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your SUv wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
