Default TCS/ABS/Active Handling Problem

I have read pretty much everything on here and I am still stumped fixing my problem. I am getting 1233 and 1226 codes still. I've replaced the right wheel bearing, cleaned the two grounds on the frame rail(they were perfectly clean), replaced my EBCM (fixed by absfixer), and swapped the two jumper wires from side to side to see if that would alleviate the problem.

Does anybody have any more ideas on what I need to check to fix the problem? The car starts up fine, but then after driving for a minute or two, all the lights come on.

Thanks, and I appreciate yall's help.

Bobby

For the 1226 check the female connector on the passenger side body.

Are you talking about where the jumper wire that goes to the hub plugs in?

Default code

I got the code from putting stainless brake lines on mine without the copper washers. After putting copper washers on, my code went away. Not applicable if you still have stock lines. I would still check to see if you have continuity between the frame and wheel spindle

I still have the stock brake lines. What part do I need to check to make sure I have continuity between the frame and the spindle? The wheel sensor wire is clipped where it is supposed to go and the spindle is tight.

Have you checked the resistance of Circuits 833 and 872 to see if you have 850 to 1350 ohms between the contact for each circuit at the EBCM connector, for a short between the two, for an open, for a short to ground?

Are you using stock size tires and wheels?
Have you checked to make sure the metal pins in the connectors that connect to the wheel sensors aren't bent or corroded? The spring pins can be mashed flat. They can look okay, but won't make a good connection.

Yes, I am using the stock wheel and tire sizes. I also double check the pins to make sure they are not bent. I still have to check the connections that Bill is suggesting. I PMed him to get the correct procedure and am awaiting a response. I probably won't be able to check it until tomorrow because of work though.

Thanks for your suggestion! This is the only problem I have ever had with this car and its frustrating that everything I do doesn't seem to change anything.
