Wheel speed sensor faults

I have two trouble codes for both my rear wheels. I have no ABS or DSC lights (traction control light stuck on) problems. I was, however, vigorously testing the DSC on a strip of snow covered road at about 40 recently, and it works quite well. Could making it work back to back cause a code? There is no description associated with it like high resistance or no signal, etc. I did feel the rear wheels individually locking up, so I suspect it thinks its broken because its made to function on dry or wet roads and it thinks something is wrong with itself?

The right rear wheel speed sensor drives the speedometer; if the speedo is working fine then the RR wheel is good, must be a problem in the other wheel.
Hope this helps and good luck!
