Default Code 1214

I have been getting it on startup for about 2 weeks but it would usually go away after a thhe car warmed up and I restarted it. Yesterday's drive it did not go away at all. I pulled it today going to abs fixer tomorrow. I am pretty sure that will take away my problem. It was not actually to Bad pulling it myself.

It's not really that hard to fix youself. I used this thread to repair mine. Hardest part was the the case separated.

A failed wheel hub assembly or bad plug connection at the hub can throw that code. Start with the front right wheel hub assembly.

Battery is new about a month old reading about 12.5 n my fluke. All connectors look good. And are in good shape. Not 100% on all the grounds.

8vette7 may be on to something. If there is anything I have learned from this particular forum, it is that members who post replies seem to know more than I do about C5 Corvettes. I just went through the same thing Booger789 described. After looking over the car, using the Y-body FSM's to trouble shoot the multiple fault codes and thinking about when the codes and warning lights popped up, I replaced the front right hub. Problem solved. However, my initial thought was, in fact, a bad EBCM was the problem. Good luck Booger789.

This is some new information for me. When I had the 1214 code a couple years ago, everyone told me my EBCM was bad. I replaced it and all is well. I guess I was lucky it wasn't something else.

Well I got my Ecbm back from Abs fixer. Installed and all codes cleared. Went for spirited drive and now getting code c1228h. Which means passenger rear excessive wheel speed variation. I cleared code and drove normal for awhile but the light and code comeback. I will check wiring, but this looks like I am gong to have to replace hub. Is that a proper diagnosis if wiring is in good shape.

I took off both rear wheels and checked the connectors. None looked bad, but I used some cleaner, sprayed both ends down to clean the connectors, reassembled everything and have been on a couple drives now. I am happy to report I am abs light free and all seems good to go. Thanks for the help everyone.
