P0720 Engine Code
Hello,
The last few days I've started getting the Wrench Light on my dash panel upon starting the truck and trying to put it into gear. I first noticed this on a cold morning and got the wrench but the truck went into Reverse and once i got going I was only in 3rd gear. I started and stopped the engine a few times and finally got it going. Since then it seems to do it all the time whether hot or cold. Tonight i noticed that if i start the engine and just go directly into Drive I dont have the issue but if i ever go into Reverse it goes into limp mode and i get the big yellow wrench again. I only have engine Code P0720 which seems to refer to a speed sensor. Has anyone had any luck repairing with similar issues. I cant seem to find the sensor listed on the typical auto part websites.
Thanks,

Upon startup I can go straight into drive without issue but anytime I go into reverse I get the wrench and have to cycle the ignition to clear the wrench to get back into normal drive mode instead of 3rd gear only.
Never had transmission issues at all. No shift issues or slippage. Seems like it has to be a sensor sense it came out of nowhere.
