There should be a ring with teeth on the inside of your front hub. Somewhere in that area will be the speed sensor. It will have an electrical connector. Check sensor for damage. Sometimes road debris can mess them up. If it looks ok then try cleaning the sensor first. Sometimes metal shavings/brake dust keep them from working. Clear the code and give it a try. If code comes back replace the sensor. When the speed sensor doesn't give a reading or gives an improper reading to the computer often it sets TC/ABS codes.

Find a way to check the DTC, it'll tell you which corner is having a problem and then you can inspect things more closely. It likely is a problem with a wheel speed sensor, probably not any issue with a sensor itself (they're in a sealed environment). Far more likely to be a wiring issue due to corrosion/NJ weather and salted roads. I've had it happen three times with my car and the sensor itself has never been the issue, it's the wiring and connections that are exposed to the elements and susceptible to damage.

EDIT: 00exploder, I didn't intentionaly shit on your parade, it's been my experience that the sensors themselves don't give problems.
