I believe the speed sensor or VSS (vehicle speed sensor) is located in the rear differential housing.

Not sure about the reverse sensor...but I am sure someone will chime in soon.

The VSS signal is available at the Central Junction Box on a GRAY/BLACK wire (C242b pins 14, 21, 22) and on C240 (pin 18 to the GEM).

The reverse signal will have to be picked up under the hood at the trailer relay block. Look for a BLACK/PINK wire that feeds the backup lamp relay coil. The signal will be battery voltage while in REVERSE.

speed sensor

It's a different application, but it shows the location of the wire.
