    Does anyone have a picture of where the decel sensor is? From what I gather it is under the driver's seat. I checked the FSM wiring diagram and didn't find it, but they could be calling it something else.

    I need to test and probably replace the sensor, but I don't know what I am looking for. I got code 34 and 43. I replaced the left rear wheel speed sensor. The codes have 1 thing in common: skid control ecu malfunction. Before I even think about that I want to make sure that my decel sensor isn't the problem.

    Pics of where its located or detailed description would be great.

    rock auto parts.com has a vss for $108. I looked up a picture of it online and found out it was located on the right side of the transfer case towards the front of it.

    I tested it while the truck was idling and got 0.81 v. The wheel speed sensors I tested were all getting about 12v at idle so I am assuming that the vehicle speed sensor is bad and that I should replace it. However, the wheel speed sensor that was bad was reading 0 v before I replaced it and about 12v afterward.

    Could it be that the vss is not using 12v because the vehicle is not moving?
