The VSS (vehicle speed sensor) or the circuit it is connected to has malfunctioned. It's easy to replace. It is located at the output shaft of the transfer case. If you have the 3-button 4wd switch in the dash, there will only be one sensor on the output. If you have the 4-button, there will be two.
