I put springs (lowered 1.8") on the other day. Now the trac light is flashing and the abs light is on. I pulled the battery cable to try and reset it but had no luck. The wires at the wheel are all connected. Any suggestions?

i had this happen to me when I had the second set of springs put on.

turned out to be a rear abs sensor gone bad. what caused it...I dunno

yeah, it sounds like you damaged one of the wheel speed sensors. It would help in diagnosis and location if you could actually pull the code number.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I was taking off my rear suspension and my dumbass took the 3 bolts off the top mount and boom my disc goes crashing to the ground. Speed sensor went bad and had my mechanic fix it for about 3 bills. Not the cheapest mistake I’ve done. Apparently the wiring is very sensitive and any tight stretch will make it go bad.

I got the same problem. Do you think this would be covered under warrenty?

not unless you can prove that it failed on its own or as a result of a Lexus technician. Most likely they'll say that you or whoever does your mechanical work caused it. Speed sensors are relatively delicate but difficult to damage unless you've go your hands in an area where Lexus doesn't think you should.
