Default Speed sensor problem

I have a 2000 GS300 and I installed the left & right speed sensor brand new from Lexus & my VSC ABS & VSC OFF is still on. The reason why I had to replace them is when I was changing ball joints I damaged both. What could be the problem

Reset the lights; look under your hood for the diag port -- located on the right side of the vehicle -- take out the slide pin and place a piece of wire or paper clip in the spots located in a post on the forums (search for vsc or abs reset procedure).

Generally when you have the ABS lights and you follow the paper clip reset procedure (under hood) and remove the battery cable for over an hour or so and drive the car -- once everything is good and the computers are reading fine then your light will eventually dissapear after driving for a few miles if it doesnt happen immediately. If it remains you have bigger issues.

Thanks bro it worked! I used a paper clip & jumped it to E1 to Tc then put the keys in the ignition, then turn keys to ACC then step on the brake 5-8 times srapidly and it came off then beep. After that took the pin out start vehicle & drove it, everything is back to normal.

Thanks!
