is it possible that with a faulty speed sensor on the rear axle of a 1987 420sel road warrior, that the ABS LIGHT WILL ILLUM AND ODOMETER WILL STOP?

opinions please.

ABS and odometer are completely separate sensors and systems. Odometer is driven by the same sensor that drives the speedometer, if the speedo works and no odometer search odometer repair.

I thought so at first, my odometer stopped at the same time my rear axle speed sensor busted (when my diff fell out... Long story...) But later my odometer started working again, and I realized that it had broken yet another gear tooth, and was intermittently stopping and starting.

That sensor would however cause the ABS light to come on. Of that, I am sure.
