Dash warning lights after suspension upgrade

Just had a Icon Stage 8 installed... very impressed with the quality and ride so far. Went with option 2 on the rxt leaf pack and stock setting on the coilovers (2" lift). The only issue is the ABS and slip indicator lights are lit up solid and a flashing VSC light. Looked under the truck and found the passenger side ABS sensor wire wasn't attached. Hooked it back up... same lights still lit up on the dash. Any ideas?

 

Unhook the battery for five minutes. Should reset.

 

You probably need to clear codes after hooking that wire back up, and hopefully that is all that is needed -- but you might need to take it in to be recalibrated if it keeps coming back.

 

neg / pos or both?

 

Yeah, i was thinking it might need recalibrating... kinda surprised as the lift heights between the old and new set ups aren't that much different.

 

Negative I think. If you have scanner, you can try clear it too. I accident cut my abs wires and after I spliced them back I think I did both.

 

Negative or Positive, both accomplish the same thing by interrupting power to all systems.


I usually just pop off the negative and then the positive and clean the post while I'm at it

 

I don’t believe you can clear ABS or SRS codes by simply disconnecting the battery.
They are “Hard Codes” you need a scan tool or you need to jump the OBDII pins and hit the brake pedal 8 times.

Tried the battery disconnect... dash still lit up. Will try the scan tool or just take it in.

 

The scan tool needs to be capable of reading abs codes.
A lot of them do now, but some don’t.

Or if you have a small piece of wire laying around, you can read and clear them yourself.

I wouldn’t pay someone to clear it. I’d buy a scan tool first.

 

Ok, so I can’t remember what I did to reset mine but I only have a $20 Amazon scanner and didn’t do the procedure mentioned above. But I don’t remember clearing it being difficult at all

This worked for me recently.

 

You say you had the lift installed.
If done at a shop they should have the proper tool and should do it free.

 

Make sure each wheels ABS tone ring sensor was plugged back in.

 

Well, on the way to buy a scan gauge low and behold the abs, slip indicator, and vsc lights went off on their own!!
