When your speedometer is not working it is usually the cable from the transmission to the back of the dash

speedometer get speed signal from ABS. ABS and DSC are two functionality in same ECU. 
You shall read faults from ABS/DSC ECU.
Most frequently, there are problems with speed sensors on wheels.
With ignition on, you shall measure voltage on both wires (- pole of voltmeter shall be connected on vehicle ground). You will see one sensor without voltage supply. This will sensor with problem. you can, for check, change sensors on same axle (left and right). 
Switch ignition off, and on. 
If voltage supply missing will go on another side (with faulty sensor), you will be sure that is problem is sensor.

SOURCE: 2002 Honda Civic. Check engine

it is quite a serious problem, and it has a lot of reasons why, it happened to me too, although we differ in some parts, in my case, all of the dash indicators lit up, what i did was to let an auto electrician rewire the car, and he found out that there were "burnt" wires and could lead to more damage. try to have it checked, it may save you lots of money. hope it helps.

SOURCE: 2002 Toyota Sienna speedometer quit

Yes it is all related. It sound's like your speed sensor (VVS) has gone bad. There are two of them, one is an in put Velocity sensor and the out is the out put Velocity sensor.
Your going to have to get the Van scanned to find out which on has gone bad. Most of the time it's going to be the out put sensor and it not that hard to replace. 
You can do it your self or a transmission shop, as for getting your Van scanned for the codes to let you know which sensor when bad. Auto Zone or Parts source will scan for free and can give you instructions on how to locate and replace the sensor.
Good luck and hope this helps.

How do I fix the speedometer on a 2002 Ford Taurus

What's wrong? If it's not working, the first thing I would check is the speed sensor - Hook up a scanner to the OBD2 connector under the dash, take it for a test drive, and see if you're getting the vehicle speed on the scanner.

If you're getting a reasonable vehicle speed indication, then you probably have either
A: a bad speedometer, or
B: a shorted/open connection between the speed sensor and speedometer.

If you don't have a scanner, see if a friend has one, or MAYBE a part store assistant will be willing to help you out.

Speedometer not working

my speedometer will work every now and then but most the time it will read all the way up to 120 mph or stay at the wrong speed its not the speedometer or the dashboard cluster that's been checked out its a 2007 Pontiac Torrent FWD 5 speed transmission and it runs great. What do you think it could be?

Have a 2002 Cadi deville, replaced the speedometer sensor because the needle was jumping. Now the speedometer won't work at all.

sounds like your in the area could be a bad sensor or a bad wire that your moving around when changing the sensor

2002 merc villager speedometer doesn't work, tach OK

The speedometer is electronic and controlled by a micro processor, the needle is operated by a special DC electric motor called a "stepper" motor, this little motor can cause this problem as well as the Vehicle speed sensor on the transmission (see photo below), either part can cause the problem, the cruise not working would lead me to believe the speed sensor is defective, but you should have a Check Engine light on and a fault code for the sensor, do you have either? Autozone and others do the fault code test for free, ask for an OBD2 fault test. Here is the picture of the sensor I mentioned.

The speedometer on my 2002 Grand Cherokee Jeep stop working?

I believe your speedometer works off of a sensor either in the wheal or transmission, check this first then check your speedometer, sometimes they go bad and you have to replace the entire dash.

Speedometer backlight not working

There are several bulbs on the back side of the cluster assembly. Sounds to me like you need to replace the one that burned out.
