Mine just broke... installed the TRD the wrong way. Well, the person who fixed my car installed the oem sway wrong and I referenced it.

Can I find out which side is broken using the code reader?

I wasn't able to pull the code. I guess I will manually test it. Ah, will finally buy a multimeter.

UPDATE: Well, what do you know, I hit a small bump and the light vanished. I pressed the vsc buttons and it's functioning again. The question:

Did the bump loosen the connection or did the sway loosened it? Both caused by bump. The reason I'm asking this question is because I don't want to switch the sway and end up pinching the line. Ahhh... another weekend, another one on one, with my car. Gotta break of this relationship and buy me a corolla.

mine currently sitting. I bent the bracket temporarily so the sway doesn't hit it.

Sam, your sway bar is upside down lol. It should be a good 2-3 inches away from the ABS sensor if installed the right way. Yes, the sway bar can go in upside down and it will bolt right up, but it will sever both of the abs cables as soon as you hit a bump

LOL, yeah, I said temporary fix. I will flip it the other way around. The guy who worked on my car put it back wrong. I used it as reference when I put the TRD blue on.

This weekend, I will work on it. The good news is, the wire is not damaged. Thanks guys.

And for people hearing sounds of metal to metal when hitting a bump, well, check your sway to see if someone installed it incorrectly.
