is it common for the abs and vsc light to come on after change the lower ball joint? After doing so those two light remain on, i have already tried resetting the ecu, pulling out that metal like clip thing on the diagnose connection under the hood and did the press brake pedal to reset the abs. it still remain on so i cant get it to go away, only way i guess is the dealer have to clear it correct me if im wrong. Thanks in advance guys!

check the 15amp fuse in the number 15 spot under the lower left drivers side kick panel. 3rd row from the top, 2nd fuse from the right. Should be a blue 15amp. Hope this helps. Did it lock you in Park too?

u might have snapped the ABS/Speed sensor line while replacing the LBJ

yea i would check the sensor at the wheel and the wiring going into it.

i have check the sensor and everything seem to be fine, but ill check again when i get the chance and as for the fuse i have not check there yet so I will be doing so as well thanks guys!

You most likely damaged the speed sensor when changing the ball joints

thats no good then hmm how much does those sensor run for?

FrankT

Unplug your speed sensor connector and see if you get 1.6-1.7k ohms...

I broke mine this weekend, after installing coilovers. Mine stretched and the wires inside the housing broke right at the sensor, It was hard to tell from the outside, repaired with solider and heat shrink.

... good luck.

if its withing that readings then its normal? ill be checking the car soon, just wondering is the car running in limp mode if both of those things are on? it feel normal

FrankT

Yes, that would be normal resistance for the sensor...

The car will operate normal but without ABS or VSC.

The connector are connected to the abs system? Not quite sure which one it is do anyone may have pics of it so I can get a better visual of it. I check the fuse already and the fuse is good

I have the same exact issue 2 months ago, VSC, ABS and traction light came on , so i can't even drive the car when it snow....
I had replaced the wheel bearings twice and never had this issue till i decide to replace the sway links and lower ball joints.

this issue occur when i change the lower ball joint! so did you get it fixed after u replace the lower ball joint or is your still stay light?

If you can't scan it you can also use the Diagnostic port in the engine bay to pinpoint the exact sensor that went bad. The sensors are connected at inboard side of the wheel wells. You will just have to follow the wire with your hand to where it attached to the frame rails.

Fixing it is quite easy like stated above. Just pray that the wire(s) didn't break deep inside the plastic part of the sensor then it'll be a bit annoying to re-solder.

If you need to know how to short the Diagnostic port to pinpoint which sensor went then just PM me and I'll send you the procedure.
