I was stuck in the snow and I turned off my traction to spin wheels and now my car doesn’t shift right, runs really rough. my check engine light came on for vehicle speed sensor. it was running fine before this. I can’t seem to find where the VSS is located on my car. Please help!

Good evening,

It sounds like you may have damaged the transmission.

What is the exact code?

Let's start with the code.

Thank you.

Again, what is the code number? I need the number as there are several codes for this sensor.

The sensor is under the car where the right front axle comes out of the transmission.

I saw that.

I still need the code number that led you to think the sensor is bad.
