-C1235 RR Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
-C1241 Magna Steer Circuit 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.
