Default 12 C ABS Codes!

i have a 98 5spd 3.8L no traction control. I just got a scan tool to read the codes and wow, 12 codes. Here we go

1211 - antilock brake system warning lamp circuit malfunction
1213 - abs active indicator circuit malfunction
1216 - electronic brake control relay coil circuit open
1227 - left rear excessive wheel speed variation
1244 - left front channel won't move
1246 - rear channel will not move
1252 - left front channel in release too long
1253 - right front channel in release too long
1262 - right front motor short to ground
1276 - left front solenoid circuit open/short to ground
1292 - open brake switch when abs was required
1293 - diagnostic troubl ecode c1291 / c1292 set last or current ignition cycle

Of course none of these have any pathfinder or troubleshooting in the tool and aren't in the service manual either.

I drove the car around and took a look at the wheel speed sensors and while my speedo said about 20mph the wss (LF/RF) were showing 60mph on the tool's data display and 3 mph for the LR & 60mph for the RR. Also the EBCM Batt and Ignition Voltage were both at 0V

Based on the live data capture & shorts to ground on the solenoids and coil my guess is that the entire EBCM is shot. Anyone ever see any codes like this? Thanks for any tips

i bought a "new" ebcm online (used and the person said no codes were present) and installed it today and got the almost all the same codes and no different ones.

Any pointers?

anyone think that these codes are the result of a bad ebcm or something else?

Module Master said that there wasn't anything they could fix, nor was there any way for them to test it.

Any ideas??

Thanks!
