In the past couple of days I painted the brake calibers on my brother's
'98 model. While doing, I found that the right front brake hose was bad. I took it off and went and purchased a new one. I installed the new hose, refilled the brake fluid reservoir, and bled the brakes. Got all the air out and have a good hard pedal. Test drove car and brakes were great. Problem: ABS light is on and traction control light is on and service both systems is coming up on the DIC. Would replacing the brake hose cause this or not? Ran the diagnostic codes and C1234 came up, "LR wheel speed circuit open or shorted". Would this cause the above problem? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Did you disconnect anything while you were working on it? Check the electrical connections. Clear the codes and see if it comes back.

Don't think I did. I did also replace the sway bar end links. Maybe I did . I was thinking I may have gotten bake fluid on it. I'm going to check it today. Thanks.

Check the abs sensor connections on the wheel you were working on.

Lucked out on that one. Soon as I looked behind the left wheel, I saw the connector hanging down. No beers required. Thanks.
