abs, traction control, and tire light

These lights all came on a few weeks ago so i figured no big deal probably a wheel sensor but today i decided to plug in an obd2 tester and came up with (2)p1698 and (1)p1787. Would those codes be related to the lights or are they an entirely different issue?

Thanks.

most likely a wheel speed sensor. Search for "trifecta" for a long thread on this

What should I do about the codes? My tranny seems to be functioning as normal. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I'll see if I can figure out which sensor needs replacing but those codes have me a little concerned because I don't understand what exactly they mean or what I should be looking for.

Thanks!

This morning i tried to do a little wiggle test of the wires with my partner inside watching the console for changes in lights. I could see the blue part of the abs sensor clearly on the front passenger side, but couldn't see a blue cap or similar wire on the drivers side. It was hard to get in there with out taking off the tire. I would assume that theyd be positioned the same on both sides of the front? Is it even possible for an abs sensor to fall right off?? I was traveling through very deep snow around the time the lights thing started.

its too cold for me to take the tire off today for a better look...

Thoughts?
