Speedometer dead, no odometer

And a bad rear differential speed sensor would affect the Speedo, Odometer, and ABS. NEVER jump to a conclusion that one thing or another is the only cause of a particular symptom. The minute you do, you will find a situation that makes you realize that. Trust me on this one. every answer that was given COULD be a possibility.....and all of them COULD be wrong.

If i had to give my stab at this with the limited info given, i would say rear diff speed sensor.

Do you have a way to get the ABS code that was thrown? That would be a big help.
 
It is my understanding that the OP's odometer is shutting off completely. Explain to me how the VSS would turn off the odometer. It can't. It does not power the odometer in any way.
a vehicle with 4 wheel abs can turn the odometer completely off when the rear diff VSS doesnt match the front two. In a vehicle with rear abs the odometer will just stay the same. It depends on what you are dealing with....and on the internet i have learned to NEVER assume.
