ABS/Speedometer (a bit long)

I bought a 94 900S last spring. It sat a while before I bought it. The day I drove it home, the brakes were really bad. The ABS light (and exclamation point light) came on. Rotors and pads replaced on the front, calipers cleaned, pads and rotors replaced on the back. All's working great at this point, yet the ABS light is still on. Now, 12 months later, the Speedometer starts acting up, not moving, then jumping way up, and then back down. I've seen the posts on here about the left rear sensor being the control for the Speedometer, but how to I check it to see if its bad? We took it off, looked clean, certainly connected correctly. While researching, I was looking at an old Volvo Haynes repair book from the early 90's, in which it said that if a the system sensed a brake failure of any sort, it would shut down the ABS system and put the ABS light on. I'm not sure if this is true for the Saab as well, but considering how bad my brakes were the first day I took the car home, any computer would sense a brake fault. Two questions come from this long ramble....is there any way to reset the ABS to see if I can get it to clear its mind of the previous fault (and of course to see if it faults again), and secondly, how do you know if the ABS sensor that also works the Speedometer is bad? Could the Speedometer problem be anything else? It works sometimes fine (today, took an hour long ride, not one problem). I appologize for the long post. Any help would be appreciated.
