I have The ABS and Trac control light on.
brought my car to the shop to see if they could figure out what was wrong and they gave me the codes:
C1226 Right Front Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1225 Left Front Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1222 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
C1233 Right Front Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
C1293 Code C1291 Set in Previous Ignition Cycle
C1291 Open Brake Lamp Switch Contacts During Deceleration
Just wondering what i could do to fix these codes.
thank you

Check the wiring for the right front wheel speed sensor to start. If it looks O.K. you can check the output of the speed sensor with a volt meter set to a/c voltage. Compare to the other side to see if the readings are the same if not replace the hub/bearing assembly.

To confirm what AirJer said, check the wiring for the wheel speed sensor. Mine was wrapped and I had to cut the sheath off to view the actual wires. In my case the wires were good, so I ended up replacing the wheel hub bearings on the front and the errors went away.

Welcome to AF ame92 !
Sounds like you have a bad wheel speed sensor or as stated above possibly a short in the wiring. They should ohm out around 2000 ohms i think.
Also If you have it on jack stands and you rotate the wheel(in nuetral) while checking the ohms reading, it should fluctuate smoothly as the speed increases/decreases, not erraticlly jumping around. If it's jumping around the HUB sensor is bad.
And i would NOT remove that wire protector completely or you could have other issues down the road. :2cents:
