my Jeep Cherokee. It came on during our Feb 2003 trip to Gooseberry
Mesa, and because of various secret organizations conspiring against
me and misleading me regarding the trouble code P0720
I had the same transmission output speed sensor go bad on my Cherokee;
it was slightly less difficult to replace than a spark plug, and cost
$26 IIRC. It seems to be chronic with them. Class action anyone? 😉
FYI, Advance Auto and other auto parts stores will loan you their
[really nice] code reader for free.
Cool, thanks for the tip about Advance Auto.
I know the part is trivial to replace but the smog guy did it for free
and only charged me $30 for the part. Unfortunately the code came back.

I went through this nightmare last year (or the year before). Kept
replacing parts, and several days later the damn Check Engine light was
back on... this time with a additional codes!
Frig'n drove me mad... after about a lot $$ down the toilet, I finally
gave up and went to the Nissan dealer with my tail between my legs.
Ironically, I wanted to avoid the dealer after being screwed by two
other Nissan dealers, this dealer turned out to have excellent customer
service, prices, and was honest. They were the only ones who fixed the
problem for good. And I've since been back for other preventative
maintenance stuff since.... finally, a good dealer :-)
Btw, regardless if you borrow or buy the code reader, they are a pretty
cool tool. I bought one of these

wish I bought it earlier. Unfortunately, I've since lost the thing.. I
think I accidentally tossed it in the trash :-(
