Change the vss{vehicle speed sensor}.Some auto parts stores call it ABS sensor{antilock brake sensor}.Around $20.Its located ontop of the rear differential.

have the same problem, but sometimes, it dies. also, it will get really sluggish and then die. I've already had the cps replaced and that seemed to work for a while but it left me stranded at about 3 or 4 stoplights today. I also have a airbag code "25", anyone know what that is?
