Default Need Help, VSC Display on other lights after Eibach Install

I got my Eibach pro-kit installed today. After about 30 mins on the road, the display had the VSC Check lights on with the check engine light, the triangle red exclamation point on, and the traction light on.


What exactly is the problem? I am goin to take it back to the people that I got in installed from, how big of a problem is this and how much of a problem is it to fix?

Someone please help, i'm gettin more nervous just thinkin about it.



PS and my gf said "I told you so" which doesn't help

unplug your battery and replug it in. its because you turned onthe car w/o the mass air flow sensor plugged in probably. (the plug on the intake)

is that all it is? btw, will that mess up my presets of radio and nav info like memory points and stored phone numbers?

It could also be a wheel speed sensor not sending data. In fact, the TRAC off light makes me think that is a lot more likely. The MAF issue would light a CEL and right away, not a half hour down the road.

A loose connection on any of the four wheel speed sensors will give you the symptoms you describe. So will a damaged wheel speed sensor if the installer wasn't careful when he reconnected the wheels speed sensors. It's not hard to misroute the wire and break it if you've never done one before.
