The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transaxle (aka: transmission). If you know it is bad, purchase a new one and look for a similar sensor on the transmission.

It should be on the back of the transmission near where the driveshaft goes in. Buy a new one, jack up your truck and look for the old one on the back of the transmission

Its in different locations depending on if its 2wd or 4wd. For 2wd its in front of the drice shaft or for 4wd its in the tranfer case, just look for a white shape like box with wires plugged into it and you need a socket to remove it, iam not sure how much it is to replace as the cost varies at different shops.

Where is 2011 Buick Lucerne output and input speed sensor?

The output and input speed sensors on a 2011 Buick Lucerne are located on the transmission. The output speed sensor is located on the driver's side of the transmission, near the front of the vehicle. The input speed sensor is located on the passenger side of the transmission, near the rear of the vehicle.
To change the sensors, you will need to:
  1. Raise the vehicle: Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle off the ground. Make sure the vehicle is secure and stable before working under it.
  2. Locate the sensors: Follow the transmission housing to the front and rear of the vehicle to find the output and input speed sensors.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connectors: Use a small pair of pliers to gently pull the electrical connectors off the sensors.
  4. Remove the sensors: Use a socket wrench to remove the mounting bolts that hold the sensors in place. Then, gently pull the sensors out of the transmission.
  5. Install the new sensors: Reverse the steps above to install the new sensors. Make sure the sensors are securely fastened and the electrical connectors are properly seated.
  6. Lower the vehicle: Carefully lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack.
It is important to follow proper safety procedures when working on a vehicle. If you are not comfortable or experienced in automotive repairs, it is recommended to have a mechanic perform the sensor replacement.
