Default Warning lights on

Lower ball joint snapped in half while i was driving. Got new ones and replaced them. Now my ABS, VSC and VSC OFF light are on.

Tried reseting the ecu by unplugging the battery to see if they would go off. No luck. Ill probly just run to autozone or whatever to see if they can clear the codes, but i want to make sure there isnt an actual problem somewhere.

Did anyone else have this problem?

Check to see if you snapped the wire for the speed sensor wire.

The speed sensor wires on both sides are intact. I wonder if somehow the sensor got damaged in the process of the wheel ripping sideways...

on the outside, the sensor might look ok but on the inside, the sensor wire might of snapped already but can see with the naked eye..mostlikely its the abs sensor. change both to new ones and the light should turn off.

when Infamous 1 says check them he's implying you check for OHM'S to see if you have continuity not by physically looking at them

my guess is a wire in them probably has ripped away
