Default How do I reset the ABS, VSC light

Ok my 99 gs400 lower ball joint broke, luckly my wife was not on the high way, I removed the abs sensor off of the inner rotor so it wouldnt brake when they tow it to the shop (Straus discount). they replaced my lower control arm with ball joint and put the abs sensor back on, but my light is still on, does it reset by it self, can I reset it with my hand held computer, or does the dealer have to reset it.

The abs sensor got damaged that's the reason why the light is on. You need to replace it. Which side did you damage? I think I have a spare sensor laying around somewhere in my garage. They cost around $200 new from the dealer.

How many miles were on your car before the lower ball joint went bad/broke on you?

it resets itself once you fix it and drive it.
