Default Abs and airbag lights

Ok guys this may sound stupid but sometimes my abs and airbag lights come on driving down the road and when this happens my speedometer will not work it just stays in 0. What in the world is going in here???? Are both sensors bad or what??? Any help is appreciated

The diff sensor on the rear diff, I know that sensor causes an ABS light.. But it usually only the ABS, and Brake light not the aribag?

Maybe try cleaning the connection first. Ive seen the same problem before and cleaned a ton of crap off it and worked perfect
