Anything is possible, but it is highly, highly unlikely. The ABS system has standalone wheel speed sensors, and is not interconnected with the speed sensor used by the cruise/speedometer.

i am looking to test my rear ABS sensors... the FSM says the clip (point for resistance test) is located under storage box... do i have to remove all panels and then remove the storage box to get to it? that's really a PITA....
