Hello, my name is Frank. I took my van for emissions and it failed p0500 code. Which is a speed sensor. I changed the sensor twice and it still failed. How many speed sensors does the van have? The cruise control is not working, odometer is not working.

Hell Frank,

There is only transmission speeds sensor they call it a direct clutch sensor. Here is a guide to help you check the connection between the sensor and the PCM. If the connections are good replace the PCM with a used/rebuilt unit.
