850 with p0500 code

Looking for a little more insight on the P0500 code. I have read many different things from the ABS to the Speed Sensor A. Just found out my ABS light in dash is not working but will be tomorrow. Thanks to all for any help.

The P0500 code is the speed sensor. What other symptoms do you have? Does your speedometer work?

My dashboard has not worked in over a year. I cleaned the speed sensors today and will be taking the car back to get another OBD II reading probably on Tuesday. I just want to make sure i have all the areas covered. Thanks for any more input it is greatly appreciated.
