ABS + Traction Contol Lights ON After Working on Power Steering Hoses

[Jehu]

Aren't they supposed to disconnect the battery when working on strange European vehicles? I mean that's like the first thing I would do.

Hopefully a reset will fix it, if not then have him look at the sensor wiring.

Well he obviously assumed it was just cutting a few clamps off, slip on a couple of short hose segments with new clamps , tighten them down and bam..."

I am under the impression the use of a pry bar to remove the small pipe segment damaged some wiring I can't quite see... the main ABS wires appear ok.. the ground is fine the other bundles looms coming from beneath show no obvious damage so I focused on the wheel speed sensor which comes up from the wheel well but I wasn't certain why a break in that wire would cause a fault.

The only other thing of which I am certain was the Traction control spool module got unplugged and wondered if similar to the Steering wheel if you unplug that without disconnecting the battery you get an SRS fault requiring computer clearing maybe that did it here although that seems too drastic to disable the whole ABS system to bring your attention to the fact your throttle actuator had a connection disruption.

Really hoping he can fix this as we're getting a foot and a half of snow Tuesday here and I don't want to learn to drive this thing in heavy snow without the ASC+T .
