How do you remove and reinstall speed sensors for Kia Sedona?

For 2010 and earlier models, begin by removing the battery and battery tray along with the air filler housing. Detach the shift cable from the manual shift lever on the transaxle, unbolt the shift cable bracket, and set it aside. Next, remove the input speed sensor hold-down bolt and extract the sensor from the transaxle case, then reinstall by reversing the removal steps, ensuring to lubricate the O-ring with clean automatic transmission fluid and securely tighten the hold-down bolt. For the output speed sensor, remove the air filter housing, then take out the output speed sensor hold-down bolt and pull the sensor from the transaxle case, followed by reinstallation with the same lubrication and tightening procedure. The vehicle speed sensor is located on the rear lower portion of the transaxle case, above the inner end of the right drive axle, and is accessed from above; remove the air filter housing and throttle body, then take out the vehicle speed sensor hold-down bolt and extract the sensor from the transaxle case, reinstalling it with lubrication and secure tightening. For 2011 and later models, the speed sensors are internally mounted, necessitating valve body removal, and it is not recommended to replace them at home.

Kia Sedona Vehicle Speed Sensor

Kia Sedona Vehicle Speed Sensor is the electronic eye that gets the information of the road speed to the control module, makes clean shifts and steady cruise control. Early vans featured a magnetic or reed pickup on the output shaft which generated an AC signal as a toothed reluctor rotated; however, low-speed output could fade and corroded wiring distorted data. Newer versions retain the same mount but use an active Vehicle Speed Sensor with onboard electronics which shape a sharp digital pulse that the PCM or TCM reads even at walking pace. The Vehicle Speed Sensor also works with throttle, coolant and fluid temperature inputs so the computer can establish line pressure, select shift points, manage torque-converter lockup and coordinate with the ABS. When the Vehicle Speed Sensor fails, the module guesses, resulting in harsh or late shifts, lost overdrive and disabled cruise, problems any Kia driver knows well. Two basic styles exist throughout Kia family years, the passive magnetic sensor on original Sedona vans and the later active type, but both count reluctor teeth to judge velocity. Routine mileage is often little detriment to a Sedona, but faulty wiring or cracked housings can cause false readings, while replacing the Vehicle Speed Sensor quickly helps give the Sedona its smooth character that Kia engineers designed into the drivetrain.
