The transmission range sensor for the 2011 Ford F-150 5.0 is positioned externally on the transmission, specifically on the manual position shaft. The price range for a new range sensor is typically between $50 and $100, depending on whether it's an OEM or aftermarket component. Its main function is to communicate to the ECM and TCM the shift lever's position to prevent any confusion. This sensor often wears out due to corrosion at the pins or connectors. When replacing it yourself, remember to ensure that the transmission is in neutral. This step will facilitate the removal and reinstallation process for the sensor, allowing you to easily secure the bolts in place afterwards.
The transmission range sensor is typically found on the exterior of the transmission, but in some cases, it can be situated on the valve body inside the transmission.
I own a 2011 F-150 4-wheel drive and the issue is within the transmission.
No, not at all. It is actually housed within the transmission on the valve body.
