Default ecu vcs light problems

Hi, about a week ago i was driving home i was goin about 20 mph. all of a sudden I felt the front right side of my car drop, the car came to a skreeching hult. i got out to see what had happend, i thought i had droven over a pothole and had broken a rim. turned out my Lower ball joint came out of place. I went to Lexus dealership got a new lower ball joint and replaced the broken one, put the rim back on evrything looked good. I jump in the car turn it on and my ecu/vcs/and vcs off lights were on. I am perrty sure i messed up my right senssor but the night the accident happend evrything looked normal because I had to turn on the car to get it on to the flat bed two truck and no lights were on at the time. I am just wonderin what can I do to fix the problem without goin to Lexus dealership? will this cause any more problems if I keep driving my car with the lights on?

the wire for the abs sensor is very sensitive , it sounds like you strained it at the connector when you did the repair, you will need new sensor and a trip to the lex shop so they can clear the codes...

The sensor is around $170 and you can install it your self if your talking about the speed sensor that mounts to the rotor.
