Exclamation 05 impala 3.8

k so ive been havin this issue with my impala
message center box says service traction system
and at that point it shuts traction control off and the abs light come on
and my speedo is wrong like it will say 60 when in park and it varies sometimes it will work other times it wont but it seems like the warmer it is outside is when it wants to work also i dont think it works right when it rains either and ive looked into but have not yet replaced the trans speed sensor because ive seen on different forums that did not fix the problem

so just wondering if i should try changing that out for 45bux or drop 400 on havin the speedo changed or if possibly it could be somethin else
any input would be greatly appreciated
