Did you change the Vehicle speed sensor or the wheel speed sensor?? The vehicle speed sensor is located on the side of the transmission..And its for the speedometer and shift pattern..If all good depending on what year,some have to be reprogrammed

1992 Subaru legacy wagon will not shift up from first gear. it is an AT.

run the fault but all you describe is operated from the VSS sensor ( vehicle speed sensor)
it tells the cruise control the vehicle speed , tells the TCM the vehicle speed so that ratios can be changed, activates the speedo,and will report with a check engine light to report a transmission problem
run the fault codes first

Speedometer not working

Assuming that your van is driving smoothly and your gears are shifting smoothly, start by checking your tranny fluid level. If it is low, that may be one of a few possible problems. If fluid level is fine, your speedo sensor may have a loose connection or could be going out which is what may be triggering the check engine light. I had that happen on my Jeep Cherokee. Speed sensor stopped working and the light was on constantly. Remember, if your speedometer sensor does not work, your odometer and trip meter will not turn either. Speedo sensors are not very expensive and pretty easy to change. Start with the easy tasks first: check fluids, check connections, replace sensor. If that doesn't work, get it into a shop (or talented and well tool-supplied buddy) and get a code(s) for the problems. Good luck!

Speed sensor

The sensor should be in the side of the transmission.
The speedo would stop working, or you would have shifting troubles with the transmission. And you would have a check engine light on with a trouble code for the sensor.

Speedometer not working on 1998 cadillac concours

You are right in thinking of the speed sensor. You should also have a check engine light on if the sensor has failed.
The sensor is mounted in the side of the transmission and takes the place of the speedo cable.

My speedometer will not work check engine light goes on and off and the overdrive indicator light flashes. All this happens intermittently with hotter weather it seemingly happens more frequently. Scanned...

code p 0500 is for the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) which works the speedo as well as the ratio changes
code p0720 refers to the output shaft sensor --ECM or transmission control module (TCM)
the vss reports to the tcm which reads the road speed and gear ratio and shifts the appropriate solenoid
