Its either mounted to the rear differential or the side of the transmission with 1 bolt.Just unplug the connector then remove the bolt and pull out the sensor.Make sure to reset the computer after replacing the sensor.

Where is the output transmission speed sensor located on a 2011 Buick lacrosse cxs 3.6 v6

Scan told popped OSS errors or not?
P0722, P0723 P0722, P0723 P0722, P0723????????????
no Graziano transfer case, rare.?
OSS hunt day , endless here hunts, and no service manual you.
POB car,GM.
6 transmissions used then
all GM 6 speeds.
all 6Txx
xx = 30,40,45,50,70,75.
your car is GM and the car has RTO tag and Mxx codes tell what box tranny is really there.
it may be true all 6Txx have same sensor and location
i have the huge book in it , but reading all 500 pages to find that is no fun for me, post your RPO and ask.
RPO listed boxes
MH2 Transmission - Automatic 6?Speed, HMD, 6T70 MH4 Transmission - Automatic 6?Speed, HMD, 6T70, AWD/PTU MH7 Transmission - Automatic 6?Speed, HMD, X23FHD now the AWD has its own OSS, got AWD, all wheel drive?
IDK what you have nor RPO nor the VIN.
the 70up has OSS (non AWD) top center of the main gear case.
and long black cable to the left.
the lower set 30- to 50 OSS is
"example of the importance of the VIN #. Assume nothing."
quote of the day is this, or RPO does not lie. learn that.

6t30 is here


but learn this first, all 4wd or AWd drive cars the OSS is moved to the rear, so low range works and does no lie to the PCM /TCM
to the rear of car, with AWD in this case if there at all IDK
3.6L may be the bigger box (6Txx) as xx s for more torque.
guessing what GM does is super hard not me reading the VIN the RPM or side fox tag omg 6T70?

Where is the speed sensor located on a 1999 f250 super duty 4X4 with a v10

The oss/output shaft speed sensor, if that's what your talking about, appears to be in tranny tail housing. Note the tranny number.

code p 0722 refers to output shaft(OSS) sensor---no signal====causes --wiring---OSS sensor ---ECM---TCM
check the wiring and connections for broken , loose or dirty pins in the connections
take it in to an accredited transmission service shop for identification and testing if the OSS and the TCM

Ok one major question! Will changing the tcc solenoid in my 01 cougar fix the o/d flashing and make the car go forward when I try to drive it?

No. replacing the TCC or the OSS, will not make the transmission work. You can unplug these transmissions and they will still work, less OD. Sounds like you may have stripped the torque converter oil pump gear. Common in these older Mercury/Fords.

2000. What are the probable causes for DTC P0720?

the output speed sensor is not at fault; check the fluid level in the transmission. If that won't help, the transmission is bad.

Speed sensor

Hi I'm Peter your code P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic OBD-II powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may vary depending on the model.
On electronically controlled transmissions, the Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) is located on the end of the transmission before the drive axles or driveshaft to read the speed of the output shaft which may be used to determine shift scheduling, torque converter engagement schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) inside the transmission. The Powertrain control module / Engine control module (PCM/ECM) has determined there is a malfunction with the OSS sensor. The PCM/ECM may substitute values based on other sensors to determine shift timing, torque converter operation and EPC pressure if the OSS sensor information is unavailable. The OSS sensor is also commonly used for the speedometer. Note: On some vehicles, the OSS sensor is inline with the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor, if there is a failure with the TFT sensor or associated wiring, the OSS sensor may malfunction as well. If there is another code associated with the TFT sensor as well as the OSS sensor, suspect a possible problem with either sensor, or the wiring in between

The green overdrive light on the dash keeps flashing and the transmission jerks into gear. Any suggestions on how to solve this. The test codes that come are P1747, PO156, and PO161. I have already...

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 std~us~en~file=d14110a.gif~gen~ref.gif


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
