Same .61 checked it twice. Probably the meter off abit, it is a harbor freight unit. Do I probe 3&4 to test speed sensor?

Something wrong with the way posting from cell works, never seems to go through. Tested speed sensor during lunch. Haven't seen infinity come up on a meter before, is it the sideways 8 or ? Tested it 3 times and each time I got no reaction at all from the meter just the 1 that is on screen when set to resistance. I do remember when I replaced the speed sensor that whoever changed it last cut off the old and connected a new connector for it, didn't look loose or anything but who knows. The new one did come with a new connector to cut and splice on but I didn't as it didn't seem necessary. Only thing I can think of.
Probably won't have time to mess with it until the 12th when I return from honeymoon at which point just to be safe I'll go pick up a new meter although I think the meter is reading correct. At this point I'm wondering if it IS the trans..

The #1 is OPEN (infinity).

As I asked before, why was the output speed sensor changed to begin with?
When reading the output speed sensor from the TCM connector and you see no resistance it is only valid if that cut and splice connector was installed properly. If the wires were butt spliced and were butchered you may have an open in the circuit from the splice. Just say'n.

Because I didn't think to test it and was annoyed that the solenoids didn't fix it so I threw a speed sensor at it. I'll just cut and splice new one on to be sure.

Ok, back from Honeymoon. Last Friday coming home stopped at a stop light I put it in Neutral, light turns green I put it in drive and it died. Putting it in Park it started right back up. Made two stops on the way home that day and it did not do it again. Took it on a 3 mile jaunt this Morning for donuts and to make sure the battery wasn't dead and again no issues. I take it out this evening for Whataburger and end up idling for 5 minutes at the window so I put it in Neutral after a few more minutes Park and then shut it off. 2 minutes later it wouldn't crank on the first try but right up on the second. Thinking it was me not turning the key long enough drove on, I go 2 miles and several stop signs with zero issues as I'm going over a parking lot speed bump at the apt at normal speed it just died and refused to start again. No code in the computer, no dummy lights and nothing amiss under the hood that I could tell.
Not sure this is Transmission related but didn't want to start a whole new thread lol. Going to grab the train to work in the Morning and try to research on this in between work calls, if anyone has a suggestion where to start I would appreciate it. Going to try to download a manual and start with the obvious jazz like fuel pump and crank position sensor etc.

Same issue
Hi, did you ever find the error ? I get the same codes, I changed the NSS, tps, rebuilt the full trans, rebuilt the valve body , changed selenoids, cleaning grounds, and I still have the same codes ..

Remove Dipstick from tube FIRST!!
Lucky guy getting the dipstick apart! I wasn't that lucky and had to cut mine and hose it back togther.
The solenoids are easy to change but, be careful with the wires. The heat makes them a little brittle and stiff, at least mine were! Stay clear of the pan when you drop it because you may think all the fluid is out but, there will be some left in it.

I don't know why, but if you pull the dipstick from the tube first, the pan comes off very much easier from the bottom of the tube.
