Type your answer here...on the transmision held by two nuts and pluged in by two wires
The 2.4 liter four cylinder engine in a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am has a timing CHAIN
It uses the VSS signal.
Computer
It's on the top back corner of the transmission.
it is in the front of the vehicle below the oil filter, exhaust manifold and coils
The speedometer in a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee operates using a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) located on the transmission. As the vehicle moves, the VSS generates a signal based on the rotational speed of the transmission output shaft. This signal is sent to the engine control module (ECM), which processes the data and sends it to the speedometer gauge, displaying the vehicle's speed on the dashboard. The speedometer needle moves in response to these signals, providing real-time speed readings to the driver.
Here is the location of the vss. http://picasaweb.google.com/cefiro.calsonic/P0720VSS# Thanks to the guys at, http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generation-maxima-2000-2003/563476-tranny-missing-p0720-help-please.html You rock...
The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is located on the transmission. If the speedometer is not working, it is rarely the VSS causing the problem. I would first check fuses and the ECU
The VSS is for 1997 and older Rangers. 1998 and newer Rangers are not equipped with a VSS type system. The vehicle speed information comes from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sensor according to the Haynes repair manual.
raise the vehicle,disconnect the electrcal connection from the vss. remove the mounting bolt and withdraw the vss from the transaxle case. replace sensor "O" ring.
Goes from the VSS to the ECM. Find the VSS, and you can trace it from there.
If you have a 4cylinder not alot. But if you have a 6 then you can cry the blues like me. A least $1300 dollars.
