Default VSC and ABS Lights always on

Hey all, my lower ball joints recenlty went out on my GS400 recently and I've replaced the part but when I started the car the VSC-ABS lights are always on. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? How do I reset my ECU? Any suggestions or comments would greatly be appretiated.

Thanks for the help guys, I think I need to replace that driver side abs sensor. Anyone by chance know where I can get a deal on one?

Had the same propblem, I had to replace the crank sensor and that fixed it. It cost me $375 from Lexus of Annapolis.

My guess would be not to let them hang. Another would be to put some sort of a small ziplock bag on the sensor end and tie it around to limit any possible dust or dirt to land on the sensor. New senors are shipped with a plastic protector covering it so there might be something to the bag idea to keep the sensor safe while working.
