Today for kicks, I checked my diagnostic codes, and the only one I pulled was Code 42. I did some research and it indicates something about the speed sensor signal. What could this mean?

To the best of my knowledge, the speed sensor is actually what is also known as the wheel speed sensor, which controls the ABS. Do your brakes behave erratically, or is your ABS light on? If your brakes pulsate at lower speeds or grind and pulsate simultaneously, combined with that code, it could be your ABS failing.
