This thread helped me resolve a problem so wanted to add to it in case it can help someone else.
Was getting an intermittent 1225 code which is the driver's side speed sensor. It mostly happened when I was backing out of the garage and cutting the wheel sharply to maneuver in the driveway. After researching threads on the topic, it seemed to be a fairly common problem whereby the connector to the speed sensor would loose contact due to a loose connection between the pins in the connector. Figured this might be my problem as the connector wire is being pulled when I am turning the wheel lock to lock. So I pulled the connector off and the connector looked fine unlike the picture in post #15 above. Decided to bend the pins in the female connector towards the center a bit anyway. Put it back together and no more codes. Thanks to all of the posters in C5 Tech - this place is a treasure trove of how to knowledge.
