Good afternoon,

What speed sensor? the one on the transmission or the vehicle speed sensor on the output shaft?

Do you have a copy of the receipt? can you upload a copy?

Was there a code set? if so, what was the code?

Okay, I attached the flow chart for the 17 code. you need to follow the flow chart step by step.

It may be a connection, wiring issue or the ECM.
