Replace the output speed sensor and clear your codes. The output speed sensor is also used for the rolling door locks too. All you need is a one inch deep socket to replace the sensor.

....and do the input sensor while your there. If you don't it'll likely fail within a few months. They cost $20-$30 a piece and are easy to replace. You can get to both from above by removing the air box. I found it a bit easier, however, to get to the output sensor from below.

I am having a similar problem to vanmom with my '91 B350 van. The rear speed sensor has been replaced 10K miles ago so I suspect the vehicle speed sensor (part no. 56022075). Where is it located? I want to check for a loose wire or possible corrosion first before replacing the unit, and of course I'll need to find it to replace it too. Thanks
PS. A wiring schematic to the unit would really be helpful too if anyone has it.
