Default Front abs brake sensor replacement dash tree still lit

Searched and couldn't find what I was looking for. Last month got my gears done, in the process of the job found that everything under the heep was rust welded on including the abs sensors at the hub. We had to screw em both out to get the job done. Obviously that set off the tree of lights on my dash. Fast forward to now: replaced the abs lines and the tree of lights is still on. Do any of you know if I have to have the stealership flash the computer to get rid of the lights on the dash? Or is there another way?

TIA

Brian

Did you disconnect the battery for a minute or so?
I was told by another member here somewhere it will eventually reset itself. Don't know if that's true. I have a replacement abs wheel speed sensor I'll be replacing today and have the three lights on in my dash as well and am curious to see if it goes out when I change it out. If it doesn't I'll try using my superchips to clear the code and or the battery disconnect. I'll post up in a few hours with the results.

I disconnected the battery for 1/2 hr, and no codes came up on my hypertech. Please let me know what you find out.

That's strange!

I installed the new ABS wheel speed sensor then I did the key trick and came up with no codes but a series of dashes.

I then plugged in my superchips and drew the code ( I forgot ) which stated "wheel sensor" then I cleared them and now it's all good.


The pics below are the broken speed sensor and the new one!
