Default AB VSC, brake light and traction control, have lit up my dash

I have recently gotten the right rear suspension changed completely and ever since I’ve had these lights pop up on my dash I pulled it up on a machine to see the codes and it says it was the right rear speed sensor. I then got it replaced but can’t seem to get these lights off my dash or figure out what’s causing them to continue staying.

This may not be a problem with the sensor itself but with the cables.

I am surprised you get check engine for this.

The check engine light is coming from a 02 sensor that needs to be replaced also. I have had someone check the wires back there and it seems fine and getting power. I have also heard a faulty gas cap can trigger it.

Hey so I was wrong I had a guy look at the wiring Back there and found the issue near the middle of the seat. The only thing that remains on the dash is the VSC and traction control and engine light. The engine light is from the o2 sensors but don’t understand the VSC AND TRACTION CONTROL.

This is intentional from Toyota, the VSC and Traction Control turns off whenever the Check Engine Light triggers, I think it's designed to inflate the importance of the CEL so that people don't ignore it and keep driving without fixing the issue.
Once you fix your issue and clear the CEL the VSC and TC lights will turn off also.
