If you look at the right side of the front tire where the axle is, you should see a black "donut" looking device snugged up to the hub; That is the speed sensor. It operates magnetically, so there is not a cable, just a wire. In order to change the sensor you will need to remove the front tire assembly.
Since the brake pads will come loose when you remove the tire, check those for wear and replace them if necessary.
You will need to replace the speedometer sensor which is located on the right side of the front tire hub. It costs about $130.00.
