Trifecta lights and inaccurate speedo

I have read many threads on this but I think mine is a bit different. The vehicle runs fine other than no abs / 4x4/ dcs. I have code149-can wheel speed sensor and 5e32-transverse acceleration signal . I read the codes with a MaxiDiag eu702.The other weird problem is the speedo is reading approximately half of the actual speed. I did replace the left rear abs sensor with no luck.
Not sure what my next step should be. My code reader does not show live data. Do I need a better diagnostic tool?
Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Read all your wheel speeds realtime. Abs requires all spees but also the use and transverse accelerometers.

If your scanner can't read those things, I suggest foxwell 510 or 520.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will look into getting a Foxwell unit.

still planning on getting a Foxwell, it is close to $300 to get one in Canada, hopefully after the holidays

I had trifecta and no speed. Had the ABS module repaired and all is well. (repair service found on ebay)

Update on speedo, today I unlocked my cluster in conjunction with my code reader to see how they compared for actual speed. The cluster showed 33 km/ hour, the code reader was 53 km/ hour? Do I have a issue with my cluster on top of the trifecta problem? On a side note my battery was at 13.5 volts running then went down to 12.1 volts a few minutes after I shut off the engine.

Sounds like you have a dying alternator. Running you should be seeing 13.9 to 14.3 volts. Off you should be seeing 12.3. Insufficient power on these trucks causes all kinds of gremlins. You can take your alternator to most parts stores and they will usually test it for free. It won't hurt to take your battery and have it load tested. You could have two issues going.
