E300 1994 codes read p0720 and p0500 one is speed sensor and the other is tran speed sensor, we are having prob with tran shifting and various speeds and rpm jumping up then shifting.

P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction
P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0715 sets when there is an error in the transmission's input speed sensor signal. On the front of the trans there is an input and output speed sensor that the trans controller looks at for shifting control.

While the code could have set because of a wiring or connection problem, it's almost surely the sensor. Input speed sensor failures are not uncommon.

The input speed sensor is mounted right on the front of the trans directly under where the cooler lines attach. It threads directly in and has a 1" hex for a socket for removal. If the wiring and connection look visibly ok then I would recommend replacing the sensor

According to the database the code means OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUT MALFUNCTION.

It says ? what says? the SCAN TOOL>?

non GRAND, (no engine stated, so fail there 1st)

my guess is you have a DTC and forgot to post that. why do that?

the DTC is covered in the FSM manual, and shows what is failing.

why not read the FSM and do what it says to do?



ill no attempt to read the FSM for you,. and that vague error.

why not log in to alldata.com and stop guessing. at parts.

there is no reason to gue$$



my guess at he DTC,

P0500"

or was it the P07xx series, all A/T errors.



P1xxx codes are factory code, got them? need all codes, not just 1 of many. and using a real scan tool not some POS autozoned junk (free)



p0500 is ASE jargon (best ) is VSS sensors.

vehicle speed sensor.



the transmission TCM monitors many inputs, and if they are bad

it can NOT shift, one such sensor is SPEED. MPH or VSS

the tail shaft all all 42RE transmission has a tail rpm sensor

when dead the cars speedometer goes dead, and the TCM

is at a lost to shift to 2nd gear, if speed is 0 all day.

a hopeless deal there.



if the battery voltage is not over 15v, its not overcharging, running.

99 is a nice jeep, id fix mine, ive had many.



the tranny has 2 speed sensors.

the front sensor does not do MPH, its just engine tranny input RPM

there are 3 RPM sensor

Engine, RPM called, CKP

tranny input sensor that tells the TCM true clutch slip at all time

and if the TCC works or not.

the tail shaft is the true speed sensor, vehicle speed, it\'s on tail shaft.



my guess, is the tail sensor is bad and you replaced the front sensor

P-0715 is a bad input sensor

P0720 and up are output sensor errors.

the 500 , is the 3rd sensor, the tail shaft sensor that runs the speedo

1st google hit.

next time post real DTCs

so we can jump on the exact part and the simple tests





the beauty of 3 sensors, is the transmission runs better

shifts better

and the OBD2 diagnostics are dead nuts, accurate.

it can see illegal gear slips (bad clutch packs) in any gear

and tell you. one of the best there.are

if you had new car, with 9speed, good luck keeping that card house going.. really.

The problem is a gear internal failure the gear who drive the speed sensor is defect the is why you don't have speed sensor reading. There is a way you can verify that remove the speed sensor drive it with a drill check the dashboard you will see.

P0500 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) May limit the revs of the motor & auto may shift erraticly. P0121 (Throttle Posision Sensor) I would start with this as it can also cause transmition probs. I would just look at these 2

P0732 Gear 2 Incorrect Ratio
P0720 Output Speed Sensor CKT Malfunction
P0736 Reverse Incorrect Ratio
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
P0700 Trans Crt l System Malfunction
P0731 Gear I Incorrect Ratio

code p 0500 is for the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) which works the speedo as well as the ratio changes
code p0720 refers to the output shaft sensor --ECM or transmission control module (TCM)
the vss reports to the tcm which reads the road speed and gear ratio and shifts the appropriate solenoid

not an oxygen sensor



vehicle speed sensor or oss is most likely cause.


Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) 7H103: The output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup, located at the output shaft ring gear that sends a signal to the powertrain control module to indicate transmission output shaft speed. The powertrain control module uses this signal for torque converter clutch control, shift scheduling, used in determining EPC pressure. Symptoms: No converter engagements, harsh shifts, abnormal shift schedules. DTC: P0720, P0721


Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) 9E731: The vehicle speed sensor is a magnetic pickup that sends a signal to the powertrain control module. This VSS signal tells the PCM vehicle speed. The PCM uses this signal to modify upshift schedules. Symptoms: Shift engagement/disengagement (hunting) on grades. DTC: P0500, P0503, P1500, P1501, P1503

Your codes are as follows:

U1262 communications bus fault
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction

What, if any, symptoms is your vehicle showing?

If your Vehicle Spped Sensor has gone bad, it can cause loss of anti-lock brakes, "anti-lock" or "brake" warning lamps on the dash, the speedometer or odometer may not work properly (or at all), your vehicle's RPM limiter may be decreased or automatic transmission shifting to be erratic.
