Default Skid control buzzer going off with abs hi

Hi All;
After my accident still having a few problems. When I come to a full stop, occasionally the ABS seems to kick in along with the audible skid control buzzer. The VSC and ABS lights do NOT come on.

Yesterday I took off the wheel on passenger side (i.e., side that water entered car during accident) and cleaner the ABS sensor. There was gunk on the sensor and moisture and the gasket looked shot. I didn't check drivers side. Today I'm going to turn off VSC and see what happens.

Anyone have any ideas??

Today I went for a drive and could reproduce buzzing and abs. Perhaps cleaning sensor worked and Ecu took time to readjust, fingers crossed!!

Default Will Techstream Diagnose ABS problems?

My ABS problem returned yesterday. I plan to clean the driver side sensor then reset the ecu and hope that works. Does anyone know if Techstream has a function to diagnose brakes? Or is there another Special Service Tool??

Sorry to hear the frequent problems, Brett. Hope you get solved. Too much eletronic gremlins after an accident is quite costly.

Thanks. Will probably pay to get it fixed, but want to see if techstream has ABS brake diagnostic functions. It is really confusing because there are no ABS or VSC warning lights. If it is just a sensor I can fix that in a snap..
