P0717 code. Where is the plug located? Hope that works!

[BodybyFisher]

I just replaced the ISS speed sensor. Look at this thread, see post #16 for photos of the plug. The plug is down by the ABS module below the air box. Tranny fluid can leak from the tranny and leach down into the plug, coolant leaks can also get into the plug. Use electronic connector cleaner, it is under high pressure and dries very fast. You can find it in parts stores, I went through 6 or so cans when I did my job. My sensor was definately bad, if you disconnect the plug, you can test the sensor with an ohm meter, I think I speak of the resistance spec in the thread if you look through it. DO NOT probe the PCM side of the plug only the tranny side. Mike

If the pin layout of the plug is not in my thread, let us know we can post the pin layout so you can test your ISS sensor's resistence.

I noticed on your post that you bought a lot of parts.

Which ones would you say are necessary?

Also, how long did it take? Where did you buy the parts, online or at a dealer?

Would you do anything different?

Thanks

In my case they were all necessary. Would I do anything different?, yes, I made a BIG mistake, I SHOULD have replaced the two sprocket gear thrust bearings and the wire harness that was leaking fluid but the job kept getting more and more complicated, expensive and time consuming and I was only working on weekends and taking taxi's to and from the train.

I combined, four+ jobs when I did the ISS speed sensor, 1) waterpump crossover gaskets, 2) ISS speed sensor, TCC solenoid, Pressure solenoid, tranny mount and 3) heater pipes, 4) lower control arm bushings and strut rod bushings. I am a bad person to ask "which ones would I say are necessary", I am a big believer that while you are there, you might as will replace EVERYTHING that is worn or that could go bad. That is why I replaced the TCC solenoid and Pressure solenoid.

The above jobs took me 4 weekends but I am slow and methodical when I work. I cleaned and replaced throttle body gaskets and axle seals, etc.

You did a great job!!!!!

I still haven't located the plug.

I took off the air cleaner and see the fuel injector plug next to the trans fluid dipstick.

I crawled partly under the car but could not see it. May have to get the car higher.

Can you get at it from the top of the engine?

Yes you see it from the top. It is almost directly down from the water pump, at the front edge of the transaxle. You will see wires going into the tranny, follow it up and you will see the plug. You should be able to determine its location from this photo, the exhaust manifold is to the left as is the front O2 sensor. The black rectangular box to the right is the ABS connector.
