I recently went to rebuild my Icon coilovers, and after getting everything re-installed on my 14 Trail i'm getting a whole array of warning lights. My initial thought was damaged ABS line, but I can't imagine that the damaged ABS wires will trigger this many warning lights. Any idea what's going on here?

Looks like an ABS fault to me. Since ABS is critical for all the above systems that have their warning lights on, they all set internal DTCs as well.
Same reason the MIL sets the VSC & TRAC lamps, it's a default logic response.

Thanks for the heads up. Does changing out the ABS lines normally cure the warning lights or will i have to take the car in to the dealer for a reset?

Yup, what he said
Just went through this a week or so ago. I broke an passenger side ABS wire and I had all the same lights show up.
I ordered the wire from the local dealer because I "thought" it'd be faster. They ended up taking as long as my online Toyota vendor usually does (McGeorge Toyota) and I didn't get the 30%? percent discount McGeorge usually has. So I paid like 80 vs 60 or something.
Dealer also wanted about $135 to install it. I installed it myself and it literally took an hour or so. VERY easy. Only hard part was getting the final clips under the air filter. You could probably remove that and make it easier but I made it work with it in. If it's drivers side, I believe it would be a lot easier.
As soon as I turned on my 4Runner all the lights turned off immediately. It was a good feeling.
FYI - you're fine to drive it still, just don't have the off road features or ABS, so drive accordingly.

Good info, thanks!
By any chance, did you guys experience more body roll as well?
I took it for a drive this morning while waiting for the parts to come in and it appears that i'm getting more body roll than usual. It almost feels as though that my KDSS is not functioning properly. Will a damaged ABS wires mess with the KDSS somehow? How would i test to ensure that KDSS is working properly?

Just a quick update for the folks that may run into the same issue in the future.
The consensus was correct! It was the ABS wires that triggered all the dashing lights. The KDSS and the BRAKE light went away after i replaced the driver side ABS wire. And the rest went away after i replaced the passenger ABS wire.
For those that's looking to purchase the wires, it's actually called the ABS Skid wires. They cost me about ~$60 each.
Thanks everybody for the help!

Dealer said these wires were $90 each and the wheel speed sensors were $300. HA! WTF
