Default help with electrical

Not sure where to start trying to track this problem down, thought I would check if anybody has had a similar prob.

Occasionally when going over a bump or pothole the traction control, and ABS lights come on, (and sometimes the radio turns off). If I stop car and restart they are off. Codes are all history, and I cleaned all the grounds per Bill Curlee's excellent tutorial about two years ago.

Anybody have an idea of correct place to start the troubleshooting?

Inspect the wiring in the left door accordian tube. History codes are important....what are they?

Thanks for the reply ... I'll check the accordian tube wiring

Codes:
PCM PO461 H P1431 H P1571 H
TCS C1226 H
BCM B0432 H-C B2723 H

This is the first time I've seen a current code...

The P0461 and P1431 are for the fuel level sensor performance.

The C1226 is for the RF wheel speed sensor variation

B2723 is certainly one to be concerned about, and could leave you stranded with a no start condition, as it's for the pass key ciruit.

Since the code which would affect the ABS/TC is the RF wheel speed sensor check the wiring at that wheel sensor. Take apart the connectors and look for damage or corrosion in the connector ends. I belive there is a connector at the wheel sensor end and also one one the car side. The harness is a piece of wiring maybe 2 feet long or so going between the wheel sensor and the body wiring harness.
