ABS & Traction Control Lights On After Raising Car

[vaironl]

I recently went back to stock suspension (both shocks and springs) as I might be selling my Yaris in the near future.

After having a friend help me out, both the ABS and traction control lights turned on. Which I do not recall happening when I lowered it. We drove for about 10-15 miles and then disconnected the battery for about 20-30 minutes and after reconnecting it the lights were still on.

My friend told me clearing the codes with an OBD2 might be the best solution, but I am not sure if that applies in this situation and if I should do that after aligning the car again.

What do you all recommend?

Likely one of two things:
-broken/unplugged wheel speed sensor or wire
-steering wheel is so far off the T/C doesn't know what to do.

Scan it, see what codes and go from there.

I'll have to get a better look, but the lines all "seem" to be plugged in correctly. One of the reasons I asked my friend for help is since he's a mechanic and I did not trust myself entirely with suspension work.

My steering wheel is definitely not centered anymore and I noticed now that it's raised the right wheel will rub when it's fully turned left.

Just came back from AutoZone. ABS and traction control lights are still on but there were no codes thrown. Not sure what this means but I'll get the alignment done regardless and keep monitoring it.

Is your brake fluid low? That's really the only thing that should be able to turn the lights on w/o having a code. If somethings was unplugged/broken it *should* have a code.

I will check this, but I just learned the scan tool used cannot read ABS codes so a friend will be using his tool tomorrow to read the codes. I am really hoping it is not an ABS line broken as everything seemed fined every time I've looked at it.

To everyone reading this in the future, it was the ABS sensor indeed.

I bought the whole cable and sensor from rockauto for about $45 and after replacing it, a real simple job, the ABS and traction control lights went off without having to drive anywhere.
