My wife's car was stuck in our driveway on ice. We tried to rock it and accelerate at the same time to get out, but we just kept spinning. Before my buiddy came over with some sand we tried a few more times and the CEL came on. We finally got the car out and I ran the code and it came up as P0500, Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction. My question is where is the VSS on a 98 Corolla? Also can anyone tell me how to change it if it's located on or near the crankshaft?

Try clearing the code and see if it returns. Often in these types of rocking/snow/stuck conditions the CEL comes on when nothing is broken.

I cleared the code, but the speedo isn't moving at all. I'm thinking either bad VSS or lose/frayed wire.

can anyone tell me where the VSS is?

The VSS is located on the output section of the transaxle. Look for the black connector with a single bolt. Remove connector, bolt, and then carefully remove your VSS assembly.

I found mine but it only let the top part off and rest still inside. So how do I remove rest of it ?
