A P0501 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:

-The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly
-There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor
-The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle

I'm having this code pop up pretty frequently as well. Anyone know where the VSS is located? Is that the sensor on the passenger side of the trans?

Yes, I believe it is on the passenger side near the output flange; A.K.A. output shaft speed sensor.
