Default ABS/Traction Control

I have an ABS light on in a 2001 SE. I had the code scanned and am getting a C1233 indicating wheel speed sensor open or short for right front wheel. I have visually inspected the wiring and found nothing. I have also replaced the right front hub. Light remains on and I get the same code. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem? How do I check if I got a bad hub?

also check inside the connectors for any corrosion, and the wiring to the ABS pump ( front left side of vheicle) for breaks in the wiring

I have checked inside the connector at the hub and no corrosion. Pulled the connector at the control module and looks fine.

I am getting ready to start ohming the connections to the right front wheel to check for short/open.

Do the two wires from the wheel go directly to the control module connector?

Does anyone have the pinout for the connector at the control module?

It turns out that the wires to the abs sensor are made of a very fine stranded wire. The wires to the right front sensor had disintegrated (not sure whether due to vibration or moisture getting inside insulation. The connection between the sensor and control module were intermittent. I replaced the RF sensor wire using GM kit and abs is now working. Thanks for the help.
