Default 5 TCS Code- Where the heck to start ???

So i have a total of all of these codes come up today and on and off lately.

-C1226 LF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
-C1235 RR Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
-C1241 Magna Steer Circuit Malfunction
-C1255 EBTCM Internal Malfunction

The reason I ask is the guys who drive their cars year round seem to have more problems with corroded grounds than those who don't. I think Silver98 is right, start with the code 1255 and connections/grounds going to it.
