How do you remove a transmission position sensor?
Grab a creeper, flashlight, and tools for the job. Go under the vehicle and locate the transmission position sensor (switch). Step 3: Remove the harness from the sensor. If you have a mechanical shifter, you will need to remove the linkage from the transmission. Step 4: Remove the sensor.
What is the name of the transmission speed sensor?
There are generally two speed sensors that work in conjunction to provide accurate transmission data to the vehicle’s powertrain control module. The first is known as the input shaft speed (ISS) sensor. As described, this sensor is used to monitor the speed of the transmission’s input shaft. The other sensor is the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor.
What kind of transmission does a 2003 Chevy Silverado have?
MG5 – This is the NV3500 manual transmission. It’s the only manual available for the 2003 Silverado. M30 – This is the 4L60E automatic transmission. It came in the lighter duty trucks. It’s a four speed overdrive transmission. MT1 – This is the 4L80E automatic transmission. It was used in HD applications.
What happens when a transmission sensor goes bad?
This may cause the transmission to shift roughly or more quickly than normal. It’s also common that a problem with these sensors can impact the shift timing, extending the interval between transmission shifts. An automatic transmission is hydraulically controlled and designed to shift smoothly.

Where can I find the transmission speed sensor?
Drive the vehicle around the block to see if the speedometer will operate. Step 2: Check under the vehicle. When returning from the test drive, grab a flashlight and go under the vehicle. Look for the transmission speed sensor and see if the harness is attached and secured. Step 1: Park your vehicle on a flat, hard surface.
What causes a transmission speed sensor to fail?
Sometimes, the sensor will fail if it is submerged in a different type of oil than what is recommended due to viscosity. If you operate a vehicle and the speedometer does not register anything, or if the speedometer begins to move after the vehicle is in motion, then the transmission speed sensor has failed.
How can I tell if my transmission is leaking oil?
Look at the transmission speed sensor for signs of oil leakage. Also, check to see that the harness is still attached. If your vehicle does not register the speed even after replacing the transmission speed sensor, then further diagnosis of the speed sensor may be necessary.
Why is my gear position sensor not working?
Turning on the backup lights when you shift into reverse Your gear position sensor may be of the mechanical or electronic type, which uses a cable or a linkage to connect the shift lever to the transmission. Another type of is the “drive by wire” gear position sensor, which has no direct physical connection between the shift lever and transmission.
Is the 2012 gear position sensor the same as 2012?
The 2012 diagram probably uses different wire colors. It’s the same transmission switch and resistor pak so connector position and switch functions will be the same. Again likely the wire colors are not correct so don’t count on them. I’d print this and write your colors on the sheet.
Is there way to clean gear position sensor?
Try cleaning the electrical connectors at both the gear position sensor and the resistor pack. Its not just a matter of splicing two wires together unfortunately.
