Check if sensor plug is corroded also be sure power and ground are reaching the sensor. You can check the operation of the sensor by probing the output wire with everything plugged in and the key on (engine not running). Put the transmission neutral, lift one wheel of the ground and turn it slowly by hand. The output voltage should turn on and off.

If the sensor is not working, the CEL should come on with a speed sensor code after driving. I think it is triggered by going downhill or coasting in gear.

It's possible for the speedo head to be dead in a way that neither speed or odometer works. If you don't get a CEL and the cruise control (if equipped) works, it's probably the head itself. Pull the cluster and check that the screws in the back are tight, they make electrical contact.

Correction: in order to do the sensor test, transmission must be in neutral.
