Default Bad Speed Sensor, Oxegen Sensor, and No ABS. Safe to Drive??????

Good Morning all,

A few weeks ago, three lights turned on my dash and later I found out that it was a bad speed sensor. I spoke with my mechanic and he said it was ok to drive. He also said that I need to replace my ABS module because it doesn't work.

The three lights go off and on, however within the pass few days the lights have remained off.

Yesterday, my check engine light went on and it was due to a bad oxygen sensor. Again, I found out that it was ok to drive my car. The check engine light was cleared and so far, my car runs like normal.

So I guess the question I'm asking is. Do I need to replace these sensors any time soon?

Which one should I replace first?

I don't plan on fixing the ABS module, since I have been driving like this for a long time.

Also, when I received the code for the oxygen sensor I remember the number
was: oxygen sensor (1, followed by 2)

but I forgot if it was (sensor, bank) or (bank, sensor). When the code is listed, what goes first?

Thanks for the help!

Get a OBDII code reader and pull the codes yourself. All those faults sound fishy to me

Test the ABS yourself on an empty road

I'm not really worried about the ABS. I have been driving without the ABS for a while now. I drive really slow. I'm not a speeder or anything.

I'm more concerned about the speed sensor and oxygen sensor.
