When driving when it accelerate to 4th gear a lot of times it will downshift itself into 3rd gear, eventually it will shift. It has done it when I had it in drive instead of over drive it will shift down into 2nd gear, I put it on obd2 scanner and speed turbine shift speed sensor code comes up. Where is that located and is it easy to fix? thanks in advance.

Hi,

The turbine shaft speed sensor is located under the battery box and it's easy to replace. There is one bolt that holds it in place and one electrical connector. The worst part is removing the battery and box.

If you look below, I attached the directions for replacing it specific to this vehicle. Take a look and let me know if it helps.

Take care,

joe
