Default Check ABS, VGRS, TC warnings after spring install?

Right after I finished changing out one of my springs (slowly working on adding Half Downs in my garage), I am getting Check ABS, VGRS, TC warning lights. Is this because I disconnected the speed sensor wire during the install? I think I noticed it during the install when I had to start the car to turn the steering wheel to get more leverage.

I haven't driven my car yet except to adjust positioning in the garage. Does it need a lengthy drive to recalibrate/reset? I did disconnect the battery to try and reset it, but that didn't fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

Either that and it will fix itself when you will drive it, or you broke something related to the sensor.

thanks. How many miles does it usually take to reset itself?

Dunno. Might also be a persistent code that will stay there until cleared. In this case, find someone with an OBD2 reader that will be able to clear it for you.

Pull out, clean and check all of the sensors going to the wheels. I used 90% isopropel alcohol. Put them all back in. Double check the wires and make sure they aren't damaged. Ask auto zone or any independent mechanic to pull and clear the code for you.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I'll clean the connectors, then drive it around for a bit to see if it clears on its own.

I had the same issue which ended up being a blown fuse underneath the glove box. The fuse was physically located next to an empty slot within the fuse box.

sorry to hear. I think I just had a bad connection. I reconnected it and it works fine. Thanks for the reply!
