most likely cable, jack the car up, put it on jack stands start the car have someone put it in gear while you look into the sensor if its working like it should then you should see it turn. To check the cable just a stick the end that rotates in the sensor into a drill and with the key on watch the speedo you should see some speed register if the cable is good.
