I just replaced the front left wheel bearing hub assembly and I am now receiving service codes for the traction control, stability-track, abs, and trailer brakes. I am assuming this has something to do with the new wheel speed sensor. Is this a case where I just need to have the codes cleared or is it more likely there is something wrong with the sensor?

it cold be either, it may have been damaged during assembly have it scanned for codes to see if it is the sensor. Also it may have rust on it if outside the wheel bearing. The wires for these are very fine and can be damaged easily.
