P0715 code

[awhughes]

On a 1997 XLT, 4x4, SOHC, 5spd auto, 5r55e trans I got the check engine light read. The code was P0715, transimission speed sensor circuit. Can this be replaced externally or is the sensor internal?

Also, is this code also realted to the VSS, vehicle speed sensor which I know is external to the transmission? Thanks for any help on this. The transmission has 201k and is all original.

Can the 0715 trouble code be caused by any other issue besides the sensor itself, like the PCM? Looks like the TSS sensor is internal...not good

Check the sensor through the connection on the wiring harness. It might have a bad connection, corrosion or dirt on the contacts.

Where will I find the sensor connector? Where is is located on the transmission, top, bottom, front, rear, driver side? Thanks

Look for a square bulkhead connector on the front corner on the driver's side.
