Default 2002 bravada no speedo and trans wont shift

got a 02 bravada speedo doesnt work and trans wont shift abs light on but not sure if its related. replaced 3 plastic thread in sensors in the tranffer case, still nothing. bought it with the front diff out. the person i bought it from said he took a speed sensor out and said it was a bolt on one. did i miss seeing it? if the speedometer worked would just replace the trans but... any ideas out there thanks

If vehicle speed sensor data is not received by the PCM, it will affect all of the things you're expriencing problems with. It could be a problem with the sensor, the wiring, the PCM, the BCM, etc etc. It needs to be diagnosed. The SES light is probably on, so have the DTC's retrieved and post them here in the order they are retrieved. Is your vehicle AWD?

Rather odd the SES light isn't on. Does it come on when you first turn the ignition on?

This is what your vehicle speed sensor should look like: Buy ACDelco Vehicle Speed Sensor 213-347 at Advance Auto Parts#

All 3 are ABS codes. Check both terminals of all fuses with the ignition in the RUN position.

Has the vss been replaced? Its either bad or wiring is messed up. Running an awd transfer case without a front diff attached it will damage the transfer case over time.

Checked all fuses cleaned up all the grounds. like i said ireplaced all three sensors on the transfer case. tested sensor on passengerside of tailshaft on the transfer case, checked the connection top of transfer case and wiring to the PCM. all tested good. I was told that i have no SES light cause the PCM sees the sinal from the sensor. All codes are ABS. codes say the EBCM needs to be replaced. tested it for power and cleaned up the ground. Ive read other posts that people were having the same problem but not all the time no speedo trans not shifting and ABS lite on but then the speedo would start working trans would shift and no more ABS light. bought it it was sitting in back at a used car lot sat for a year. I contacted the person who owned it befor me he said it had no other issues then the front diff. I do know if the speedometer does not get a speed signal trans wont shift. and having trouble finding information about how and where the signal for the speedo goes. any help is much appreciated thanks again
