Default VSC light, VSC off, ABS light all on

I searched but couldn't find anything similar to mine, except a few about vsc and cel on.

in my situation I have NO cel light on, but the vsc, vsc off, AND abs light are on. It started tonight while driving home, I went over a little bump and the lights all came on at the same time.

I have disconnected the battery, but that didn't get rid of it. I am now trying to reset the ECU by pulling the 20A fuse, so hopefully that'll clear it.

Now if that doesn't work, what could it be? dirty ABS sensor? loose ABS? I really hope I don't need to replace anything.

The front and rear sways are installed properly, I have Daizen sways and they are installed following the stock placement (except the rear where you're required to reverse the end links) so i'm pretty sure they aren't backwards.


Thanks

when were the sways put on? My money is on a broken ABS sensor wire. Search for that. new they are like 150 a pop. you can fix these as well.

Good luck.

sway bars installed around 2 weeks ago.

Is there a way to jump the lights to read the code without a scanner?

If That is when the lights came on then I would suspect the cable was damaged.

you probably won't see the actual broken wires since they're inside a sheath or casing, but you can technically expose the wires and solder them back together, which I may need to do.
