ABS VSC Lights on....
As the heading says my lights cameon after having a shop put on my Tein Cv2's today. They say they didnt touch any of the brakes so they dont know why its coming on.
They checked the connections and saw everything was connected fine.
Anyone have a clue how to clear this up?
It was getting dark so we decided to continue the "search" of the problem on another day. But anyone had this problem and can tell me how to clear it up?

It happened to me too. I accidentally installed my TRD sway bars upside down and it cut the ABS wheel sensor cable in half. The wires are pretty delicate so if you accidentally tug hard, it will break the wires or connections inside.
Whoever was working on your suspension must of slipped a wrench or dropped a tool on the line or maybe they tugged on it accidentally. The list of reasons for how the wire was accidentally damaged is going to be pretty long. Fact is, your cable is busted and you will need to get a replacement. They usually run about $175-250 depending on which dealer you get it from and how much they markup their parts.
Hopefully you can get the shop to pay for the repairs since it was obviously them that broke the cable. They will moan and groan and try to deny it, but keep going after them. If they have a OBD2/Diagnostic scan tool, then they can use that to see which wheel that the sensor cable got damaged. There is one sensor per wheel on the car. I resoldered my cables back together which is a real pain in the ***, but it is doable. If your shop will not pay for sensor replacement and you don't want to pay full price for a new cable, then PM me and we can set up an arrangement for me to repair your cable.
Anyways, good luck and keep us updated with your situation.

Waiting now on getting to go into the Dealer to see if they can isolate the problem.
Brakes are working fine.
Question. Are there VSC or ABS plugs that could have been damaged or unpluged in the rear of the car? The back tires?
Cause they only checked the front.
