That year doesn't support flash code diagnostics. You'll need an enhanced scan tool to retrieve codes. Could be a vehicle speed sensor signal error causing your erratic speedo and trans shifting issue. Could be wiring, connector, or speed sensor fault. You need a graphing multimeter or scope to see signal. Visual inspection of the speed sensor and harness should be the first order of business. Speed sensor is located in final drive cover near the right inboard CV axle joint. It is a two wire PM generator that produce an AC voltage sign wave that increases in amplitude and frequency as vehicle speed increases.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

That doesn't mean squat. Wiring commonly breaks internally and cannot be seen. The wiring has to be tested with an ohmmeter while being wiggled.
