    Hello, I have a 2006 4Runner and the check engine light came on. At that time, I also noticed that the speedometer was not working. The check engine code was PO500. That indicates that the Vehicle Speed Sensor was not working. How hard/easy is it to change? Thank you!!

    All I get is this little box?!
    I believe they are in the steering knuckle, it’s 1 bolt and 1 clip. Pic for reference.
