How to Change a Dodge Output Speed Sensor

This will work for some jeep grand Cherokees to
When the P0720 code is detected, the check engine soon warning light will likely illuminate. The vehicle will also may have engine and transmission issues, including an inability to shift, a harsh shift feel, an erratic or malfunctioning speedometer, hesitation and misfiring from the engine, and potentially stalling

[@vickygalindo3397]

Thanks for the video.. now you showed exactly what I explained to the service advisor.. friggin idiot told me that I didn't know about my truck .drove 48 miles hwy speeds 70mph no problem .parked Vehicle for about 30-40 min.restarted Vehicle would not shift out of 2nd on a hot engine after stopping .Engine would not reave even though I had my foot to the floor. No check engine light.was only able to drive 30 mph ..But after sitting overnight transmission shifted perfectly. .. I told service advisor to have tech check input and output sensors prior to running a transmission test. Just because I am a woman he thinks I am a idiot. Was a tech for decades when I was young and cute haha now gray and old mist be dementia. Glad you put the video out proves me right. Your Awesome. 😮

[@kaybee4143]

For those interested. I believe the socket size is a 25mm metric but a 1" standard depth 12 point socket works. It's just a little loose but does the job.

[@rickfowler5342]

Thanks for posting! I was surprised he didn't mention that pertinent tidbit of info. Lol

[@williamqualls4578]

That's all I was looking for!

[@Jocabod]

I mean come on, that and a part number, brand and price are like elementary info on a how to video. No subscribe from me.

[@andybrewer6181]

Heck yeah.

[@ZeroScapes]

Can anyone confirm this information?

[@jameschavez4096]

Thank You! Just got the part today and looking to replace it once I'm off work, this video really helps me out a lot! Running a 98 grand Cherokee and excited to get her back on the road.

[@D-train69]

Informative, short and to the point good vid, Thank you.

[@nojunkwork5735]

When you disconnect the battery the check engine light goes off because you cleared the codes not necessary because you fixed the problem.

[@andybrewer6181]

Thank you man. You're good at explaining and making it easier for others. Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏

[@loriazuru4947]

THANK YOU! You described my car to a tee! You are the best! Keep making video's!

[@ahuempfner]

I've seen alot of videos and your good at this! Just some advice for next time, it would be nice to if you would explain what size socket (unless I missed it) why you waited to turn it over and what are you looking for that changed while taking it for a test drive (if anything else besides the light) Other than that! Keep up the good work, seriously!!

[@ahuempfner]

Just read the description...lol. Thanks

[@slant6guy]

Cool Dude! We like the very same era of Chrysler's vehicles! Also, I prefer the mid-1960's-1979 Mopar cars & truck too. Have a '98 second Gen. RAM 1500 5.9L Magnum 5.9L + a supercharged 2003 Jeep TJ Sport 4.0L and 5-speed here and this video is fitting to the RAM as this explains a lot in simple terms & to the point. Great Video...Thanks!

[@andybrewer6181]

I like the 2ng gen dodges too. They're my favorite. I got a 2001 Dakota sport single cab with the 3.9 in it. It's blue and black. Beautiful lil truck.

[@HoodRatBass]

Same but mine’s red. Love the body style

[@somajesticbeats1784]

I noticed you waited until the vehicle stop chiming to crank the car. Is that how we're supposed to be cranking cars? I just stick my key in and go. Just had to replace a fuel pump too so when I seen you pause before you crank I'm thinking maybe that's what I need to start doing

[@Trejofambam8788]

Yes I’ve heard it’s the right way to start the vehicle in the older 2000s models

[@kellismith4329]

The fuel pump primes when you fist turn to the on position, for a few seconds

[@adolfoaguero5140]

Hello Ronnie my name is Adolfo I have a 2000 Dodge Durango tell me the speed sensors bad I don't know it has a couple of lights on check engine and then the speedometer work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't do you have any ideas

[@jeffnelson8797]

What was the truck doing that you knew it was bad besides the engine light being on?

[@southernNCfamily]

Mine would act like it was in limp mode. Not going anywhere. Rpm 4-5. Thought I needed a trans.

[@seandavis-love7779]

I have a dodge 2006 sprinter van that's kicking out a P0717 code. Apparently this is a transmission input speed sensor failure code. I can not find this part. Even Dodge can not help me. Do you perhaps know the part number? Are the input and output sensors the same? Thank you in advance.

[@juanlanda2441]

What kind of Dodge is this . Appears to be a 4x4 truck by the driveshaft next to the transmission. Im trying to research where the speedo sensor is on a 2009 charger. Appears to need all four wheel sensors and ABS module. But at the moment not concerned about the ABS Only need the speedo to work and hoping that will allow the transmission to shift from 1-2. . Would this be the transmission output sensor?

[@paynenass3698]

Well I hate to tell you brother but I just changed both sensors in my Dakota and its the opposite. The output sensor will not seat all the way, bout the length of that little nose in front. But it will seat in the back.

[@user-ul9uo4fq8c]

This is the correct bellows vector

[@judyloper422]

When the OSSS has been changed,what does it mean if there is still sporadic speedometer fluctuations,like going from 0 to 120 mph?

[@juanlanda2441]

It means you're haulin'! 😂

[@seandavis-love7779]

Hi there. I'm not sure if you are still active on this channel?

[@emmavasquez6263]

Thank You for the video..very helpful..I need advice on a 2003 dodge caravan SE 3.3 engine..v6 cylinders..about 2 days ago I had the Transmission Control Module replace..due to the my car scanner kept giving me the code for a TCM..I've had the part for awhile .. I couldn't afford to replace it..anyways I finally got it replace..I figured the engine check light would go off ..NO!!! It didn't.. As I was leaving the mechanic's I noticed the engine check light on again..they asked if had an issue.. I said yes..the light didn't go off.. They put the scanner back on.. Got code p0725.. The mechanic told me it was.. Crankshaft sensor.. I went to purchase it..went back yesterday they out it on..here I am thinking..everything should be ok..NO!!! Check engine light back on 5mins after taking it for a test drive..🙄.. I wasn't charged for the work that was done..they want to return back Mon or Tuesday so they can put it on a big computer scanner..to see what is the problem ..before I throw anymore money away..could the issue be the input/output sensors..since the TCM has been changed & crankshaft too & light is still on.. Its also keeping me from smogging my van...also when they changed TCM..they were going to charged me for oil..since the TCM leaks oil out...the main mechanic told me that..could he been talking about the sensors leaking oil & not the TCM..🙄

[@dannyrivers3922]

So where is it at under the vehicle? You video started with you already under the car

[@Trejofambam8788]

I don’t see this on my 05 but they sell this part for 05 am I just not seeing it any answers please help I got the part but do not see it on my transmission

[@jeeppicker2986]

So, what are the symptoms showing that was the issue?

[@Mishakol1290]

I think my input speed sensor is bad like i can hear it rattle when i shake it. Car won't go out of 2nd gear sometimes.

What size socket ? Did the new one come with a magnet or do you re use the old magnet ??

[@nateyoder9372]

If a decent bit of transmission fluid comes out was the fluid level just too high? Do I need to put more in to replace what I lost or will it be fine? Thx

[@billypoot3504]

With this sensor being bad would that keep the vehicle from shifting into overdrive?

[@leogreyeyes1576]

Symptoms are in the description

[@rylohcalzone9352]

no you need to actually take the transmission pan off and change the sensors and solenoids in there, look up tcc solenoid and governor solenoid, easy to change out, change your trans filter too when you take the pan off

[@nissanskylinen34gtr]

I have a 99 ram 1500 5.9 and the wires got ripped out, bought a new one from autozone with orange and blue wires. Which wire goes to which side of the plug?

[@herbbates4713]

I got to do it twice as the first one I got from Auto Zone was bad and totally failed in one day, I replaced it Friday night but Saturday morning it wasn't working completely right and by the time I drove 40 miles my wait to start light came on telling me I was in limp mode, Then Sunday morning if would do over 20 mph till I restarted it then it shifted so I was going to go get one after I got home from Church and couldn't get it over 20 mph so got a ride to get another one, everything is made in china, at least the second one is doing better so far, so you might have to get two before you fix it

[@mototoad1242]

Not very clear as to where the sensor is but I'm sure I'll find it. My truck is throwing this exact code

[@joelafleur6423]

Is the socket a 25mm or 1 inch??

[@joelafleur6423]

I think when I did mine , a 25mm socket impact because it had more room and it ended up working. I did it on a 01 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0l it was super easy. Honestly it has a little magnet in side and if the old one was cleaned off it probably would have fixed it. But the new one was like 20 bucks I just use it.

[@joelafleur6423]

Your Welcome buddy. I thought the same thing. Thinking I had to replace the Trans. But it was so simple and easy. I just replaced the one on the Trans. Then topped off the Trans. Because I've replaced the Trans filter and fluid before and didn't fix it. For a sec I thought the filter was clogged. But it was the sensor
