Traction control system issues
Lately I've been getting the Service traction control/service active handling message. Usually when making the hard turn out of my garage into my driveway. I pulled the codes and the were numerous:
C1225H, c1261H, c1262H, c1263H, c1264H, c1265H, c1266H, c1267H, c1268H, c1273H, and c1274H. Is this telling me my TC system is on it's way out?
If I restart the car it resets and usually doesn't return, but it's been happening more frequently lately.
Thanks

I would start with inspecting and cleaning grounds related to the EBTCM and hope they are the cause and not a failing EBTCM. Besides the ground wire on the EBTCM plug there are others that may need attention.
Here are a couple of links about grounds that should be helpful:

If grounds don't correct the problem your likely looking at a new EBTCM since C1214 is NOT one of your codes and that's the only one that is repairable.

Great info, Thanks. Now the next question. How do you get the damn connectors apart?

OK so I cleand the grounds and then today, turning hard right out of driveway, the service abs/traction control comes on again, always seems when making a turn. I pulled the codes before shutting it off and got 1225 h c. (RF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation). Can some one chime in on what that means?

If you have WSS voltage DTCs,, Most likely, you have damaged/defective /deformed female pins in the female connectors for the front wheel sensor wiring circuit remove the front WSS JUMPER HARNESS and inspect the female pins in the harness jumper and on the connector on the K Member frame wher the jumper plugs into.
If they are bent , deformed, damaged, you can bend them back and recover fron the issue!
SOMETIMES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I only seen it two times, the wheel hub sensor comes loose and gets water in it which requires Wheel Hub Replacement.

Each wheel has a wheel speed sensor built into the hub. If you jack the car up and remove a wheel you will see the wiring and connector that connects each sensor to the cars wiring system.
Code C1225 is actually for the left front sensor and NOT the right front sensor. Remove the left front wheel and inspect the wiring on either side of the connectors for damage and if there is none, separate the connector halves and check for corrosion and/or damaged pins that might prevent the signal from flowing. The sensors themselves almost NEVER go bad. It is usually the wiring or Pins that need attention.
