Hello,

The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is located on the transmission housing.
The VSS measures the transmission shaft rotation and sends that information to the ECM and that gets translated to the speedometer gauge.

I have attached the diagrams for the VSS as well as diagnostics for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
