ABS And Side Assist fault after lowering spring install.
Hey guys, I had the RSR superdowns installed last week, after a day of driving my ABS and traction light came on, also my side assist system fault light is on and it is not functioning. Has anyone experienced this, is there an easy fix? I've tried disconnecting the battery to see if it would clear the system faults but it didn't solve anything.
Thanks in advance for your help.

u broke one of the 4 ABS sensors my friend, normal ODB2 can't read you need specially high tech scanner to see which one is faulty. once u know which is bad one just replace with and thats it no need to reset or anything, drive for 100m the system will reset itself.

Thanks

When ABS sensors malfunction it will disable Traction system, i'm not sure about BSM because it has nothing to do with the suspension "Unless they shared the same sensor" and i'm sure one of your ABS sensor is dead, In car technologies usually 1 sensor down it will make other related one down with them to for safety reason, that's why they have scanner and diagnostic to see which one is the problem one. We here to assume and give you some info, nobody 100% sure bro, good luck.

DETECTION ITEM Vehicle Speed Sensor
DTC DETECTION CONDITION A fail flag is transmitted from the skid control ECU
TROUBLE AREA
- Vehicle stability control system
- Blind spot monitor sensor LH
- Blind spot monitor sensor RH
Fix the sensor issue at the wheel, and the BSM light should go out.

This is likely why the BSM light is on...it has a code that relates to the Vehicle Stability control systemDTC NO.

Indirectly yes...the BSM system needs to know the vehicle is moving, but because there is a problem with the vehicle speed circuit (likely a disconnected sensor) and it triggered an ABS code, that automatically triggered the BSM code.
If the lights did not come on immediately after the vehicle was lowered, and I mean literally when the vehicle was first started, there is a good chance a sensor wasn't plugged in properly and the connector just come off the sensor after the vehicle was driven for awhile. Hopefully plugging it back in will cure everything.

You guys nailed it, the abs sensor harness was short slacked and popped out on a sharp turn. reconnected the sensor and all is good. Thanks for the help guys!
