The speedometer on my car will stop working and the brake light will come on while I'm driving the car. My check engine light and ABS light has also came on. I ran a code scan, and it gave me a P0500? It says vehicle speed sensor circuit malfunction. Where is the vehicle speed sensor located on my car and how simple is it to get to and replace? Please help.

Sure, the output shaft speed sensor is on the transmission case near the CV axle output. Here is more information on the code and I have included the location of the sensor and how to replace it in the images below.

P0500 for a 2014 Nissan Altima refers to a problem with the vehicle speed sensor.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
