2002 Kia Sedona XL suddenly downshifts

Speed sensor was replaced. Advanced Auto looked up code and recomends to replace shift solenoids A, D, and B. Does anyone know where these are located and have advise on repair?

Thank You

Replaced output speed sensor on 2002 kia sedona a few times.

Given the transaxle & the age

I would say it is time to either
part with the vehicle,that would be
my suggestion, while you can, or have the
transaxle rebuilt

Lets be realistic here

Were any of those sensors ever tested
or failed a test,I doubt it

Again-- as with the couple thousand lost souls
that come here every week,you do have a check
light on- so you start there as always

I owned a trans shop,your trans is worn out ,enough said

The shifting symptoms are telling you the problems, like it
is talking to you,now you continue to drive it as everyone does
& ruin it for good

Where is the transmission speed sensor on a 2002 kia sedona

looking from above you need to remove the air filter housing to make life simple. look down the back over the starter motor and you will see the diff housing with the sensor just on the top. from underneath you wont see it but its easy to feel.

I have a 2002 kia sedona and occacionly the car jumps while i am driving and then runs very rough...I have learned that when i shut the car off and turn it back on it seems to run normal again

Sounds like either an input or an output shaft speed sensor. In a nut shell, the transmission's shifting is controlled electronically; at a stop or very slow speed, the transmission is automatically in first gear...when these sensors 'sense' that the vehicle is travelling at a certain speed, it tells the transmission to shift into second. At the next specified speed, it shifts into third; etc. etc. What it sounds like is that one of these sensors is going bad, telling the transmission to downshift, but the other sensor is fighting that command and causing the vehicle to 'act' like it's running rough, when in reality it's probably just the transmission rapidly jumping between gears. These sensors aren't particularly cheap, but are pretty easy to replace. Start by finding a shop that will plug in a code reader for you (or do it yourself if you have one). You're looking for a code in the range of 0715 to 0723. If it reads 0715 to 0718, that's the input side. 0720 to 0723 is the output side. Good luck.

Free registration, wealth of information.

For the record: if the sensors they're referring to are the input or output shaft speed sensors, they are very easy to find...just remove the air intake box (where the air filter is) and they're right there on top of the transmission. Input sensor is the one closer to the front of the vehicle, output towards the rear.

Sounds like the transmission is downshifting to passing gear. Might the electronic control module for the transmission. Have someone pull the codes from the computer, I'll bet there is one in there for the transmission.
