Default Speedometer not working?

Any idea what may cause this? Can a bad ABS sensor cause this fault? VSS perhaps? Any input will be appreciated.

I would have to do some more looking, but I know for a fact that the speed for a 2g gs is read off the front wheels. The ABS sensor is already there and would be able to read speed. So I would say that is a good place to start if you have an ABS light on.

Tach and all gauges work. VSC and ABS lights are on. I had a curb incident due to weather conditions and had the driver ball joint assembly and outer tie rod replaced. Im wondering if the removal of the abs sensor on the driver side may have had something to do with it.
