You actually need a factory level scanner to communicate with the CAB (ABS module) and monitor the wheel speed sensors. If u cannot establish communication with the ABS Module then you may have a faulty Module!!! I

Here is the short version...

the vehicle speed sensor is actual an interpreted signal from the ABS module and the ABS module uses the wheel speed sensors

therefore, if the ABS module sees a problem with any sensor it will affect the PCM input for vehicle speed

another possibility, but worst case, is the ABS module has failed

in either case you will need a professional scan tool to monitor actual wheel speed versus PCM vehicle speed

2003 jeep grand cherrakee larado 6 cyl 4wd , replace oil pan gasket and rear seal seal

You can do it in chassis but you will have
the trans out to do the seal. It is much easier to pull the engine at that point. The 6 cylinder is not that bad to remove.

What are the symptoms of a speed sensor going bad on a 1997 jeep grand cherokee laredo 6 cyl.

Since alot of things rely on data from the speed sensor you will "usually" get an ABS alarm, little or no shifting,no indication of speed on the speedometer, and the check engine light. without the abs light and with a speed indicated I would lean toward a transmission problem

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee The ABS light comes on and stays on. What does this mean?

You may have a faulty sensor, most cases a wheel speed sensor, the light is on warning you that you do not have abs basically your car will stop like an old 70's model car before abs. abs atands for anti lock brakes, it keeps your brakes from locking up under extreme braking.
