First check the fuse in the fuse box ,gauges,find a bad one replace .otherwise the ABS light could be bad jumper wire passenger side rear that goes to the differential or that Your sensor is bad on the rear diferential.If this sensor is bad it will make the ABS light come on and speedo not work right and make it run bad.It could be a matter of pluging it back in if it got disconnected when being serviced. Reccomend that you have it checked for codes because the van could have sensors in the front too.
the speedometer on my 97 toyota camary stopped working and the check engine light came on why
maybe your speed sensor is bad you will get a check engine light on the dashboard too.
1. operates the speedometer and odometer. 2. provides vehicle speed information to the engine and transmission controllers.
Nope, bet it was the other way around... Your speedometer stopped working and your check engine light came on. A broken speedometer (don't know what car so I can't pinpoint it) will cause a whole bunch of codes.
check your speedometer sensor located back left of engine bay on top of the transmission

What would make your speed odometer stop working after putting an alternator on? 2005 Chevy Malibu
This is based on my experience with a 1995 200 sx se. I assume they are similar. The se uses the 1.6 engine and the se-r the 2.0. engine. The odometer runs on the same electronic gear driven sensor as the speedometer so if the speedometer is working and the odometer is not the problem is in the "Speed head" (speedometer unit in the dash). Mine and several others I have seen break at about 40,000 and will need replacing but first; If neither are working try to set your Cruise control. If it "goes wild" with clicks etc. and does not work the problem is likely the speed sensor located on the transmission. Find it on top on the transmission rear the fire wall. One set screw hold a small retaining plate. Remove it and pull straight up. The nylon gear wears out and causes it to not contact the drive gear anymore.
There are several possibilities why the speedometer is not working. The VSS, vehicle speed sensor may have failed or become unplugged. The speedometer may have failed, or the ECM, engine control module, may have failed or there could also be wiring issues.
no the odometer is for the car not the engine
I think you need a speed sensor
The check engine light only comes on for something that affects emissions
