Wheel speed sensor

So my question is .... is the wheel speed sensor the same as the abs one? I just got a OTC 9450 which I recommend to anyone it reads CEL/SRS/ABS lights. Now I feel I can do anything :D. Anyways my trac light is on and it says service stability and traction on DIC and its on because of the driver front speed sensor. Can i just replace the sensor or replace the whole hub assembly? IF I do replace the hub what is a good one to get?

You have to replace the entire hub in order to fix the sensor. All one part. Get either a Timkin or SKF brand of hub. Run about $100 or so. Check Rock Auto for it.
 
So now I have my hub. I decided to check the code again. Now it says this [FONT=Lucida Grande, Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]C0197 Yaw Rate Circuit Range/Performance . Where can I find this sensor ? It no longer says Left Front wheel speed sensor. I've googled it and I've just been able to find what it does.[/FONT]
 
It said the df ws sensor before? I'd change it just for good measure and delete the other code and see what comes back up. I had a girl come to me once with 15 abs codes. I fixed her one wss and deleted the other codes and none came back. abs is weird sometimes.
 
well I figured I'd do it anyway since its my first repair since getting the car... I replaced it and cleared the codes. TC light came back and it still says service Stability/TC system, Stability/TC off. Read code it says C0197 as before.

...I might just leave it for now. If I do need to replace the sensor, rock auto has it for 230, lol. It doesn't effect drivability.

***update yaw sensor is located under the center console
