   Hi everyone! New to the forums here. I recently had an issue with my 2010 tundra. It has a little over 200K on it and has been a GREAT truck for many years for me. Recently, it decided to go into LIMP mode. I ran the code and it says its the output speed sensor that has no signal. My truck will not go into 5th gear either. I tried taking the negative terminal off battery and it will work sometimes and sometimes not. Also when I crank the first time it goes dead immediately then second go around it stays on.

   Apologies if this isn't the forum to ask for advice due to an issue with my truck. I'm desperate and figured what better place than somewhere like here! Anyways, I have looked up the sensor at auto zone and the problem I'm having is where is this output speed sensor? Is it on the end of the transmission? Looks like more than one sensor in that area... I thought about changing it myself but want to make sure I'm not pulling the wrong sensor.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated!
   Vince

   I don’t have the answer but try one of the online parts diagrams and see if it shows the location. Hopefully someone will chime in with experience. I’d buy the oem sensor if you do need to replace it. It could be compromised wiring critters? Who knows, but check the wiring and connection if you can locate it.

   I found the sensor and replaced it. Working great so far. Thanks for replying, rebmo.

   When you pull the battery, typically the truck won't start on the first time. Thats normalyeah can we get some more details please? Otherwise this thread is useless. Which sensor did you replace and what was the exact code? I'm not familiar with "output speed sensor" code.

   My 2010 5.7 Tundra has about 200k on it and threw the code P0722. Found this thread and it didn't have any answer but knew i could fix it. Found the part on Toyota's site for about 100 bucks (it was 50 off). They had this first diagram which made it look like the sensors were driver side ( Labeled Speed Sensor SP2 and NT). Crawled under the truck and felt like a lost idiot. Finally was like i'll check the other side. After checking the other side i saw the sensors, then found this 2nd image on the web. the SP2 Sensor is the one circled in blue that is specific to the code. I was an idiot and changed the NT sensor and the truck threw the code again. Swapped it back and put the new sensor in the back which is the "output" one.

   After I figured out the location it was fast. Took about 15 min if that.

   10mm socket
   small flat head to help remove the wire coupling.

   Dealer wanted to charge me 400 something for it.

   Red is input, blue is output? Do I have that right?

   Yes that is correct. Currently have the same 0717 code. Both sensors tested ok so I'm concerned I fried my ECM.

    I had the 0717 code that would go off and on over the course of a couple weeks before I fixed it. It seemed to come on any time I drove for more than 30 minutes or so, and would go off after a few days of shorter trips.

    I replaced the input sensor circled in red above with the AISIN (OEM) instead of the Toyota part to save some $. Haven't seen the light again and it's been almost 2 months. It took about 5 minutes to replace (most of that finding the part location - its pretty much directly centered under the vehicle mounted to bottom/front of torque converter) and only required a 10mm socket and ratchet.

    My GUESS here is that your sensor is testing fine, but if you tested it after it gets hot it may fail. I hate throwing parts at stuff, but I'd 100% start here before messing with the ECM.

    I would swap out one sensor and if it doesn't fix it use the sensor you pulled to swap out the second if they are the same. If that doesn't fix it I would follow the wire harness to look for damage.

    Success! It was the sensor. Used WVE 5S12624 from Rock Auto and good to go.
