I think that is the output speed sensor circuit. This website may help:

P0720 Low Output SPEED Sens RPM, Above 15 MPH


Thats the transmission output sensor. Drivers side middle of the trans. Get it at the dealer and install is a breeze. A little fluid comes out so watch out.

Could also be the ABS sensor (speed sensor) on the rear axel on the top of the differential. They like to work in pairs.

after i put the output speed sensor in. SO come to find out my no 7 cylinder was not firing. so i want and put a tune up on plugs,wire cap rotor pcv. and it still making the bucking. I step on the gas no power. i think it could be the coil. i can't figure out the problem. my guy the usually work on my truck can't figure it out. other code came up also o2(code-p0132) sensor but here is the thing i just replace both of them about 6 months ago.

any have any ideas what it can be.

Default Sorry

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST. BUT I AM EDITING MY POST.

The car starts and idles, but it lacks power for the first block or two, and the engine will almost die during acceleration. When you give it more gas the car will almost die and then take off like a shot. It yo-yos like this when driving.
