Are you 100% sure those are the abs codes? Could you go double check? Thanks.

Customer replied 466 days and 11 hours ago.

Sorry. My bad. Should be ABS C1228-history and ABS C1298-history

Expert:  Dan replied 466 days and 11 hours ago.

C1228 means right rear wheel speed sensor has excessive variation and c1298 often means the abs module has failed. I would start by checking power/grounds at abs module, make sure data wire is good and if so replace abs module. You can get a used one from www.car-parts.com to save money and if C1228 code still comes back replace wheel speed sensor. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.

I just had the abs replaced (for the second time) with a used one that was supposed to be an exact match .

Were all 2001 devilles equiped with traction control or was it an option. I thought maybe the replacement abs may have been from a donor car that was not eguiped with traction control

They all have traction, were u getting same codes before replacing?

Customer replied 466 days and 11 hours ago.

Before getting abs replaced first time I had codes c1214 and 1248. AFter first replacement these codes were gone but I was getting two messages on my driver information center to "service stability sys" and "replace brake pads".After abs replacement number two the messages were gone but the traction control light stayed on and the codes I mentioned in my original question are present

Considering codes completely changed from what you had I would try another brake module, salvage yard should be willing to swap it out with another one for free.
