Question Check Engine Light

I have a 2002 Kia Rio with a manual transmission.
The check engine light comes on at 60 mph.
Had it checked at auto zone -- computer said it was the speedo sensor.
Changed the speedo sensor, and the light still comes on at 60 mph.
Cleaned all of the terminals on the black box (near the battery) -- this was suggested in a previous post.
Check engine light still comes on at 60 mph (and not at any lower speeds).
The speedo sensor is good -- it is not the problem.
The car runs great.
Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening??

is it a Vehicle Speed Sensor code or a Wheel Speed Sensor code. The Rio has both and typically the Wheel Speed Sensor is the problem not the Vehicle Speed Sensor.

Thanks 2004 riotuner.
The connecting wire on the front wheel sensor was broken.
Repaired the connection and the problem was fixed
Thanks
