If it's a two wheel drive,it's on the right rear of the transmission tailshaft and is retained with a single bolt. If it's a four wheel drive, it's on the top side of the transfer case and screws in.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (M15)
On the right rear of the automatic transmission ?
speedometer not working ? New speed sensor won't fix it ! Unless your having transmission shifting problems an other drivability problems . The vehicle speed sensor is an input to the ECM engine computer .
Speedometer
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the ECM. The IPC receives the vehicle speed information from the BCM via the serial data circuit. The speedometer defaults to 0 kmh (0 mph) when the following occurs:
?€¢
The engine control module (ECM) detects a malfunction in the vehicle speed sensor circuit.
?€¢
The IPC detects a loss of serial data communication from the BCM.
Speedometer sensor measures axle(driveshaft) speed for your speedometer gauge.
Input speed sensor measures the speed of the input shaft of the transmission.
The output speed sensor measures the output shaft, the ECM compares these two signals to determine the amount of clutch slippage and adjusts parameters accordingly for optimal operation.
If the vehicle speed sensor was the cause you would have a check engine light and the transmission would have sifting issues into overdrive, I would think you just have a failing tachometer stepper motor (tiny DC motor) that drives the needle..
Personally, I would take it back to the tech and make him do it (my customers would not hesitate).
With that said, the answer to your question is YES. The Vehicle Speed Sensor (if your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission) is located on the right rear of the transmission housing.
for the p0500, the solution:
The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
i know this tool is helpful for your car.
Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly.
If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure wil depend on your make and model of vehicle.
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.
It maybe your speed sensor. Which is mounted on the transmission by one bolt. It should be near a cv axle (I would imagine). They run anywhere from a little over 100 to about 220.
if speedometer and odometer are not working, chances are that the speed sensor is bad and stopped working. find vehicle speed sensor on transmission, the connection may be corroded or the sensor itself is bad. good-day !!
As a RULE I NEVER replace Electronic parts with used parts, you dont know what you have in a used Spedo head. Possible that Magnetic pickup at transmission is good. A Problem like this on MY Personal Vehicle I would go with ALL New parts Including Wires.
