Default Need a little help with a 1241 magna steer code

I had a bunch of codes on the car, one of which was the 1241 code. I managed to get them all cleared except codes for both front wheel speed sensors and a 1255. Last night I check the front wheel speed sensors, and found the wires pinched under a hose clamp for the brake cooler. I fixed the left side, and checked codes and was able to reset it and it cleared. Went to the right side and did the same, but I manually forced the wheel to turn while under the car so I could get better access. When I say turn, I turned the wheel from the outside, forcing the steering wheel to turn. When I was done, I was able to clear the wheel sensor codes and the 1255, but then I had a 1241 that wasn't there 30 min before. I figured it had something to do with me manually forcing the wheel over but after putting 15 miles on the car today, it's still there and won't stay cleared. Any idea what I could have done?

Did you check the connector on the rack? You may have dislodged it while you were checking wires.
