The one if front is the input speed sensor. The one behind is out put speed sensor. What was the code?

Testimonial: "just got the truck back from the ford house now 6 miles later it did it again they said there was a sensor on the rear end i am calling bull on this one any ideas 2 sensors on the tranny have been replaced now 2 times"

    Being replaced twice. I would look closely at the plugs. The female tabs in the plug will bend apart and loose contact. heat. When it comes to intermittent problems, plugs are the first thing I check. I fix them or replace them. Wires also tend to break right behind the plugs. They break inside the coating. Pull on the wire and plug, if it stretches, you found the problem.

Where is the turbine shaft speed sensor circuit A.

On the 2007 Nissan Frontier with an automatic transmission, the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor circuit A is located on the transmission itself. The TSS sensor is mounted on the outside of the transmission case and is located near the input shaft. To access the TSS sensor, you will need to locate the sensor on the transmission and disconnect the electrical connector. The TSS sensor has two wires, which are typically colored yellow and black. You can test the TSS sensor using a multimeter to check for proper resistance and continuity. It is important to note that the TSS sensor is a critical component of the transmission system, and a malfunctioning TSS sensor can cause issues such as improper shifting, harsh shifting, or the transmission going into "limp" mode. If you suspect that your TSS sensor is faulty, it is recommended to have it diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic.

Where is the turbine/input shaft speed sensor located on a 98' Ford explorer sport 6cyl shod 2wd?

Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
The turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup that sends the powertrain control module (PCM) torque converter turbine speed information.
The TSS sensor is mounted internally on the center support.
The PCM uses TSS information to help determine electronic pressure control (EPC) and torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
You have to remove and disassemble the transmission down to the center support to access.

Where is my speed sensor for my 2007 silverado 1500

code p 0700 refers to transmission control system/MIL---malfunction==== causes --TCM---wiring
check all connections and wiring condition or replace the TCM
code p 0717 refers to turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor ---no signal====causes ---wiring---TSS sensor---ECM/TCM
logically the TSS reports to the TCM to facilitate ratio changes so if the wiring , connections etc are not good then one will affect the other
Take it to an accredited auto transmission specialist shop, have it properly diagnosed and a quote
do not confuse a TSS with a VSS sensor as they are two different speed sensors in the same box

I am having two issues with my 2001 Ford Taur, the first is a code of P0715 and the other is P0302. We have replaced spark plugs, fuel filter, oil change and the car still sputters and is very hesitant....

P0302 code is a mifire for cyl #2, Check the ignition coil for the number 2 cylinder.
P0715 Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction - With Automatic Transmission
Possible Causes Setting Conditions
* TSS connector is damaged (check pins for damage, and for moisture)
* TSS signal circuit is open, shorted to ground or shorted to voltage
* TSS has failed
* PCM (Powertrain Control Module) has failed

To test the ignition coil for the P0302 code
Turn the ignition OFF
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect the wiring harness from the ignition coil.
Check for dirt, corrosion or damage on the terminals and repair as necessary. Measure coil primary resistance between ignition coil pin 4 (B+) and pins 1 (coil 2), 2 (coil 3) and 3 (coil 1)Resistance should be 0.3-1.0 ohms. If resistance is out of specifications, replace the coil pack. If resistance is within specifications, proceed to secondary windings testing.

My Ford winstar 98 is having OD light on. Same time while I'm driving this car is slipping. I took it to trasmission specialist who took reading and out of 9 codes 5 is transmission related, but...

Try to replace the sensor yourself. Its accessable throgh the left front wheelwell, next to the axle. It is a 8mm or 10mm bolt holding the sensor in. Good luck. Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor Removal and Installation
  1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301) and positive battery cable. Refer to Section 14-01.
  1. Raise and suitably support vehicle on hoist. Refer to Section 00-02.
  1. Remove LH front tire and wheel assembly.
  1. Disconnect turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor electrical connector.
  1. Remove one bolt and TSS from transaxle.
  1. To install, reverse Removal procedure. Tighten TSS retaining bolt to 9-12 Nm (80-106 lb-in).

Where is the location of a speed sensor on a 2003 Ford F250 superduty?

It should be sticking out of the top of the transmission at the rear of the unit. There are 2 sensors, 1 at front of unit (TSS) and one at the rear of the unit (OSS). The OSS is your speedometer related sensor.
