Default NEED HELP!! C5 dash lights!

I have a 97 c5,when I hit 50mph the abs and traction control lights come on.
I brought it to chevy and they said it was excessive wheel vibration due to a bad front drivers side wheel bearing.

I replace both sides and the lights are still coming on!!

has anyone had a similar problem??

any help would be greatly appreciated!

the wheels n tires are stock.the two codes are TC c1225 and c1232

c1225 RF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
c1232 LF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted

now when they say RF(right front) is that looking at the car or sitting in the car?

thanks!

Wheel speed sensor issues. Typically the sensors themslves seldom fail. What is most often the issue is the wiring to the sensors is damaged or the contact surfaces inside the connectors that connect the sensors to the car wiring are corroded or failing to make good contact.

Jack up the front of the car and remove the front wheels. Examaine the wiring to the sensors for damage and repair as needed. Separate the two halves of the connector and examine the contact surfaces for deformed pins and or corrosion. Repair as necessary and reassemble. Don't forget to clear the codes before you take the car for a ride. When you get back from the ride pull the codes again BEFORE you shut off the ignition. To pull codes with the engine running you need to use the reset button to clear any messages displayed in the DIC first. Then pull codes as usual.

Thanks for all your help!I will let you know how it goes!
