Trans speed sensors

On the 722.6 transmission are all the solenoids/speed sensors the same regardless of the position they are in, in the conductor plate? My scanner code is telling me y3/6n3 speed sensor 3 is faulty.

I've never done this before. I think I will buy the entire service kit with conductor plate.

This is my first MB, bought it six months ago. 2008 sl55 amg. 59k miles. I've always been a Chevrolet, Toyota, and Jeep guy.....lol


Thanks ahead for your advice.

The good thing is with your transmission, the conductor plate is not a theft item, meaning that it is not coded to the ECU. They are also fairly inexpensive to replace. Is this what you are thinking?

Yes that's the exact service kit I'm thinking of purchasing. Plus I will need a speed sensor, correct? Are solenoids and speed sensors the same thing?

No, they are not the same. The sensors are built into the plate.

Good, so the conductor plate and service kit should be all I need.

Is coding required for the 722.6 tranny? Certainly not the anti-theft stuff.

@BenzNinja To be clear, the 722.6 transmission has a separate TCU, while the 722.9 has an integrated TCU? If the conductor plate for the 722.6 is replaced, does the new plate need to be coded to the TCU or does the TCU need to be "adapted" to the new conductor plate speed sensors?

With separate TCU nothing needs to be programmed
