Vss failing


 

开云体育

Finally getting around to replacing the VSS. ?I found it but I can’t figure out how remove the electrical connector. ?

How do you manipulate those 2 wire bails? ? Please let me know the technique

Stephen?

Assuming you have the 01P automatic, this is the correct part #: 357919149
Available from Mark at germanautoparts.com... Call him... doesn't show if you search for it.

Easily accessed from underneath...
- remove belly pan
- jack up front if you need easier access (or ramps or a hole...)
- on top the right side differential.
- you'll see a heat shield over the wires/connector
- pull connector...
- unscrew sensor...

- reverse instructions to instal new one.

Squeeze them together to unlatch the bottom edge.? Sometimes it helps to push the connector on a bit while trying.

Yeah my finger’s aren’t strong enough. Going to have to figure out a tool to compress them. ?Wonder if a small c clamp would fit in there

Ok, finally defeated it.
?
For those who need have the bouncing speedometer in the future, here is what I learned.
?
  1. Jack up front of van and slide under.
  2. Once you can see the exhaust manifold, you are far enough back
  3. On top of the transmission, next to the exhaust pipe, there is a fabric heat shield
  4. At the bottom of the heat shield is a slit that is snapped together.? Unsnap it and push it up the wire
  5. There is the VSS.
  6. Remove the wire bys sliding the top rectangle to the side.? It doesn't lift up as I assumed.? Once you have slid off the plastic lock, the wires unplug easily by lifting up.? The plastic lock is a U shaped lock that clamps the wires onto the sensor
  7. Unscrew the sensor and screw in the new one
  8. Attach the wires and push the lock back on
  9. Pull down the heat shield and snap the bottom
The Bentley was useless for this job.? I don't know how I got lucky and figured out the the lock slides to the side.? Next time I do it, it is a 15 minute job

Spot on! Took me forever to figure out what was happening when G22 failed (7 years ago)...?
Vehicle goes into Limp Mode because of erratic data off G22 doers not correlate to Tranny speed G68...? Can't accelerate...
Pull to the side of the road and one can accelerate the engine normally...
Speedometer bouncing erratically...

A good way to test if this issue is to disconnect G22, and drive. Problem goes away...
Also a good way to drive around if you can't get G22 right away and need to use the vehicle...
Of course, no speedometer reading, but some times ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
