Can the Bosch speed sensor be replaced by the user without needing to visit a dealer to clear any error codes?
Are all the chain stay mounted sensors the same?

It is best to have a dealer clear the codes, though I realize that is not always possible depending on your location.
Many OEM frame designs may necessitate removal of Drive Unit to allow access for replacing certain wires.. This may present some opportunities for additional damage to other parts, etc. Again, one of the reasons we recommend having the work performed by a Certified dealer.
There are several different lengths for the Bosch speed sensors, depending on frame design. On top of that, some of our OEM partners now use their own proprietary speed sensor solutions. It's gotten to be fairly complex as eBike frame designs have evolved in the past few years.
Not sure if this helps with your issue, but hopefully it's a little more insight at least.
For most people this would not be classified as a simple maintenance task. Crank puller, specialized Bosch spider tool, removing engine cover whilst keeping seals intact, routing the cable+connector through a frame (depending on bike) and finally putting the engine cover back (possibly with a new seal, cleaning & re-greasing) with the appropriate torque settings on the bolts, etc.It’s disconcerting such a simple maintenance task cannot be performed by the user, even when out of warranty. Effectively you are locked into a service agreement for life and never truly own the bike. I understand this is done under the guise of complying with EU regulations but it’s a step too far for the consumer with no downside for the vendor.
