1nzb engine do i have to take the air cleaner bracket off to get to the speed sensor? cant locate it

no scan tool errors told DTC.wow. or just guessing"?
well if you shop at the Kia site. Oem parts seller
and tell time your VIN, (not told) then you see all transmission parts. and how many speed sensor are there , 1 to 3 possible. for most transmission.
or buy the shop manual on your unstated transmission
no VIN
2.4 or 2.7L engine,USA?
i think the tranny is Hyundai.
wow dealer sells no transmission parts.!
the schematic shows 2 pulse generators inside the box
gen A and Gen B,

Raise the hood on your XB and locate the engine's air cleaner assembly. The assembly houses your air filter and is mounted on the right side of your engine compartment. It has a large black rectangular cover and a ********* tube coming out of the left side of it.

2

Locate the air cleaner assembly's mounting bracket. The bracket sits under the lower portion of the assembly. Four inches to the left--horizontal--of the bracket, you will see a small wiring harness plug connected to the transmission by one bolt. The harness plug attaches to your transmission revolution sensor.

3

Unplug the wiring harness connected to the transmission revolution sensor by hand. Do not use any tools because you might damage the harness plug.

Tip

• checkYou will most likely have to remove the air cleaner assembly for full access to the sensor. Take the lid off the air cleaner assembly and remove the filter. At the bottom of the lower half of the assembly, you will see three bolts. Remove the bolts with a socket wrench and lift the assembly out of your XB's engine compartment. Remove the sensor from the transmission with your socket wrench as well. Install a new rubber O-ring around the base of the new sensor. The new sensor won't come with a new O-ring but you can find them at any auto parts store.

HI the speed sensor is located on the front of the transmission. You will need to remove the air cleaner houseing to get access. The sensor will be to the right and under the shift linkage. I hope this helps happy hunting.

It is right on the air filter housing

Your speed sensor, is located on top of the transaxle, near the starter. To access it, remove the battery, then remove the battery tray (4 10mm bolts). You will see wires coming from the lower oxygen sensor, and they snap into the bracket that holds the speed sensor in place. The actual speed sensor has a 2 wire clip on it, and is held in place by the bracket and a 10mm bolt.
