On 1995 Dodoge Stratus, where is the input sensor sensor & how do I test it? Trying to solve a going into limp mode after some time passing over rought tewrrian (i.e. rail road tracks). The solnoid pack has already been replaced & the Dodle dealer does not know what is wrong. I am wondering if it is the input sensor might be the problem becuase the speedoder is fine when in limp mode.

if there is a problem with the speed sensor you would recive a Code 15 (odb2) during "road load condition" i.e driving, and the check engine light would come on,
do you know any fault codes recently or currently on the car?
as you probably noticed English is not my primary language so please ask if i dont make any sense


The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is located on the transaxle
near the left engine mount - manual transaxles only

quote from the haynes repair manual:

"The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is
located on the transaxle near the left engine
mount (see illustration). This sensor is a permanent
magnetic variable reluctance sensor
that produces a pulsing voltage whenever
vehicle speed is over 3 mph. These pulses
are translated by the PCM to determine vehicle
speed, distance traveled and, on models
equipped with cruise control, it governs the
speed control servo.
Note: To backprobe an electrical connector,
use pins or paper clips inserted into the rear
of the connector (or wire) to facilitate meter
attachment. Be careful not to short the
probes during this process.
89 Raise the vehicle and support it securely
on jackstands.
90 First, check the VSS sensor supply voltage;
place the transaxle in Neutral and turn
the ignition key ON (engine OFF). Using a
voltmeter, backprobe the orange/white wire
(1995 models) or orange wire (all other models)
(positive) and ground the other probe to
the transaxle. There should be approximately
8 volts present. If no voltage is indicated,
check for a blown fuse and examine the wires
for obvious damage. If the circuit looks OK,
have the PCM checked out at your local
dealer service department or other qualified
repair shop.
91 Next check the VSS sensor output voltage;
backprobe the black/light blue wire
(sensor ground) and the white/orange wire
(VSS signal output - positive) at the sensor
connector. The voltage should fluctuate
between 0 and 8 volts. If supply voltage is
detected but there is no signal voltage,
replace the VSS sensor." if there is a problem with the speed sensor you would recive a Code 15 (odb2) during "road load condition" i.e driving, and the check engine light would come on,
