Default Code thrown - P0720

Description is Output speed sensor circuit malfunction. Sometimes, the Durango (2000) won't shift out of first gear...and sometimes it does. Its an intermittent problem. What do I do? Replace the output speed sensor? Check the wiring? Where is this sensor located?
Thanks in advance.
