    The sensor is located on the top of the gear box, just behind the Dip Stick.

    VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR: VSS 8.29

    GENERAL

    The vehicle speed sensor is powered and monitored by the
    ECM. The ECM processes the vehicle speed signal and
    transmits this signal to the TSM/TSSM/HFSM and speedometer
    through serial data.
    The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transmission just
    behind the transmission top cover.
    REMOVAL
    1. Remove seat.
    1WARNING
    To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could
    cause death or serious injury, disconnect negative (-)
    battery cable before proceeding. (00048a)
    2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
    3. See Figure 8-79. Disconnect 3-place vehicle speed sensor
    connector [65].
    4. See Figure 8-79. Remove sensor mounting bolt and lift
    sensor from transmission case.
    INSTALLATION
    1. See Figure 8-79. Install sensor into transmission case
    using mounting bolt. Tighten bolt to 84-108 in-lbs (9.5-
    12.2 Nm).
    2. See Figure 8-79. Mate 3-place vehicle speed sensor
    connector [65].
    3. Connect negative battery cable.
    1WARNING
    After installing seat, pull upward on front of seat to be
    sure it is in locked position. While riding, a loose seat can
    shift causing loss of control, which could result in death
    or serious injury. (00070a)
