1999 Ford Taurus Speed sensor failure

Hello

No need for a new post unless you want. The VSS is part of the cruise.

Did you go by AZ?

Did you do the checks that were attached and this is how you came up with the VSS?

Hello -

So we are on the same page here - first from the pic below - tell me the engine you have in your car and the 8th digit of your VIN number.

Next, so I understand better - when you went to AZ did you ask them to read the codes on your car because the check engine light came on?

Did you ask them to please check your batter, alternator and starter?

If you did the above, what did they say and what City and State are you in?

Please provide the answers to the above so I can start review of your problem.

Hello -

We seem to be sending posts back and forth and missing info.....

Let's start over..... Before you do any checks, answer my last post with the type engine you have and those questions... Then we can catch up with each other and get on the same page.

Okay - I need you to answer a couple of questions that I previously asked when we were doing posts back and forth so quick.

Have you checked to make sure you have the proper transmission fluid level? Your car will throw this code if the fluid level is not correct. . ..this will also not allow the transmission to shift properly. I have attached how to check for you.

ACTION
The fluid level in the AX4S transaxle should be set at the top end of the hatch marks on the dipstick (Figure 1) while the transaxle is at operating temperature. The vehicle must be on level ground, in Park, with the engine at idle and at operating temperature to get an accurate fluid level reading. If the fluid level is not at the top of the hatch marks, add fluid until it is at the top of the hatch marks (Figure 1). Refer to the information printed on the dipstick and/or the Owner's Guide for the correct type ATF fluid (MERCON(R) or MERCON(R) V) to add to the transaxle. Check the label of the container of ATF being used to verify if the fluid is qualified for MERCON(R) and so labeled; or is qualified for MERCON(R) V and is so labeled. In the event a fluid is qualified for both and is so labeled, it may be used in either application

Last, so I understand better - when you went to AZ did you ask them to read the codes on your car because the check engine light came on?

Since you live in Los Angeles California, can you possible provide either the phone number or the address of the AZ you went to. I am not going to refer to you in any way. I do want to check with the company to see why this particular one does not do this check. We refer many folks to them for parts etc so I want to make sure all of them do this service. Did you try going to an O'Reilly's?

After you check your fluid level if this doesn't fix it, which is the fluid was low then make sure you get back with me with that information. But still please provide the information for the other questions.

This is most important. It looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.

Hello -

That is fantastic if the fluid level being too high is your problem. Some transmissions are very sensitive and must be exact. Lord willing this is your problem.

As for the recalls, I didn't ask you to see if there were any recalls on your car...I attached them to the post for you. My suggestion was for you to take the ones I gave you and call the dealer service department and see if any of them apply to you. Good idea though checking the web!

Again, hope the fluid level is your problem.

Hello -

Well, sorry that didn't work. . ..but, please recheck the fluid level per the previous instructions just to make sure it is at the correct level.

Next, I have attached the label and the code for the lable. It is number 5 where the red arrow is pointing. The Vehicle Certification Label (VC Label) should be affixed on the LH front door jamb.
