Steps
Move the intake box for access
Switch off the ignition and loosen the air-intake hose clamps. Lift the intake box out of its mounts and unplug the nearby harness connector to expose the input sensor area. Keep debris out of the open intake duct.
Replace the input speed sensor
Unplug the input sensor harness and use the one-inch socket to loosen the sensor. Twist it out by hand and check that its O-ring came out with it. Confirm the replacement seal is seated, thread the sensor into place, and reconnect the harness.
Replace the output speed sensor
Disconnect the output sensor plug near the transmission lines. Loosen the sensor with the socket and remove it by hand, making sure its O-ring is not left in the case. Install the replacement sensor with its seal and reconnect the harness.
Reinstall the intake and verify operation
Return the intake box to its mounts, reconnect its wiring, and seat the intake hose at both ends. Tighten the clamps and start the engine; check for warning lights, leaks, or transmission shifting issues and scan for codes if symptoms persist.
