VSC trac, VSC off, and ABS light on after lift install, WTH!

Let me first start off by saying I did the VSC disable mod from this thread
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/79426-disable-vsc-trac-abs-without-damaging-factory-wiring.html Over a year ago. So I install the Toytech Ultimate 3 inch lift. I did the same install on my 2011 limited with no issues. But as soon as I turned the 4Runner on the VSC off, VSC trac, and ABS light came on.

I also installed a set of toytech front extended brake lines, and bled them afterwards. I bled them the same way when I installed my Tundra brakes on the front. So Im really at a loss as to what it could be. I took special care not to extend the lower control arm to the point where it was stretch the ABS lines, and even unbolted the line holders from the hub all the way to the top of the upper control arm so as to give it maximum length with installing the front coils.

Is it possible that maybe I need to bleed the system more? Or that the runner just doesn't like the toytech lines? Its the only thing I cant think of. I even double checked all my wiring for the disable I did, and checked all the fuses... WTF!

This is the 02 you're talking about correct? I know on the 02's they have the crazy expensive master. They have to be calibrated with a computer. Could be something with that like you said. Or I know those lights come on and stay on when the check engine comes on. If you have a gauge maybe run it and see if the car has any codes. Besides that I have no other ideas, post up when you find out though.

Yeah sorry about that, its the 02 I was talking about. I'm going to wait until I get my rear extended brake line kit from Toytech to do the rears, then try and see if I can have the codes checked.

Anyone?

Not as familiar with the 01-02 systems, but check your ABS sensor wires to see if you knicked/stretched/unplugged them during the lift install.

I double checked them yesterday and didn't see anything...

Man this thing is really annoying me... i hate seeing lights on my dash that arent supposed to be there!

SO i was messing around and searching the crap out of this, when I came up with someone else that took a multimeter to test the ABS sensors, so after testing both sides, i figured out that it was the drivers side. Must have stretched it when I installing the lift, so monday, I will be heading to the junk yard to pull one off one of their 4runners, rather than paying $100 for a new one.
