Default ABS/VSC/VSC OFF lights on

I just got the lower ball joints replaced on my 99 GS4 and all three of those lights came on. The mechanic said they were probably due to come on given the miles, however the lights weren't on at all when i dropped the car off. Should i try to clear the DTC or check the codes? Or just take it to lexus and get it fixed?

Also are the wheel speed sensor and the ABS sensor the same thing? I've read other threads about these lights and its always one or the other.
