This code can represent either the RPM sensor for the transmission if you have a 09G transmission if you have a 01M transmission this would be the transmission speeds sensor,(VSS) For your year make and model you have a 01M transmission the VSS is located on top of transmission inspect the harness as coolant leaks likes to enter the harness.There is also a TSB for this code which reuslt in poor shifting where a new software is installed.
