    Hey folks.

    Today my wife was driving our '05 SR5 2WD 4.0. She said suddenly the ABS, VSC Trac, Brake and CEL came on as well as the speedo quit working.

    I ran the codes on it and got the expected P0500.

    Since she'd be away for the evening and I'd have the kids at home and went on and grabbed a replacement Vehicle Speed Sensor (SN7138). https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...38/18971728-P?searchTerm=vehicle+speed+sensor

    Climbed under the 4Runner and found the 2 Input/output sensors (SN7396) on the trans.

    I however, so far haven't found IF or Where the VSS (SN7138) is located and manuals and online resources have not been helpful.

    Is this part even on this model? If so, Where does it go?

    So, climbing back under it and looking around and still can't find it.

    Do these things have a VSS AND input/output speed sensors? Or is it just the input/output sensors?
