Thanks for the indepth follow up report on your situation and conclusion. Good to hear that you managed to elliminate any possibilities of issues with the TOD and successfully resolved it.
I, too, had a TOD sensor issue which turned out to be a defective sensor located on the transmission case. Turned out to be either the rear sensor that was the culprit but could not tell which of the two sensors it was as they both were located in the same area. Also, when ordering from St. Charles, they were identically the same sensor visually except for one wire which was a different color on both. Turns out that the color differentiation just determined which harness and location point the sensor was designated for. Otherwise, both rear and front sensors were performed and looked the same. Never had an issue after the replacement. Saved a lot of cash since the dealer wanted a chunk just to order the part not to mention the outrageuos quote of installation which took me about 5 minutes to do.
Good job.
