What's up with my car guys?

I already tried to search and it's too short to search so I had no luck. Please help.

I just got my springs installed today.. and after I started driving it.. i gunned it and my tire slipped a bit. Now my VSA, ABS, and (!) lights are staying on. What's the problem? Has anyone experienced this before?

Oh and if I take it into the dealer to get it fixed? Would they say I voided warrenty because I installed aftermarket springs?

Ok I read something on older TL's, that when the ABS and TCS light came on to check the brake lines or something but I did and nothing has ripped off. I mean I'm thinking of going to auto zone to get the OBD or whatever scanned or I might just go to the dealer and ask what's wrong, but I'm afraid of warrenty issue. Any ideas anyone at all? Come on.

Try resetting the ecu bu disconecting the battery for 15 min or so. Make sure you have the stereo code first. See if it goes away by doing this. If not then i would bring it in. I would aslo check to see if that durring the spring install you/installer didnt damage any of the wires leading to the wheel speed sensors

Sounds like it could be the VSS (vehicle speed sensor)

If the lowering of the vehicle is done correctly. I would take it to the dealer if it is still under warranty. I wouldn't tell them that it just happened after the car was lowered. Just say the lights came on and let them check it.

Well I had the diagnostic thing plugged into my car and ran.. the outcome was the rear right something sensor (probably wheel speed sensor like stated above) is damaged.. probably because a forced spring removal.. well i have an appointment at the dealership on friday.. they said it will take half a day to a day to check it.. i really hope it's under warrenty. i won't say shit about the spring install.

Whoever installed your springs should pay for any repairs. If the dealer techs are any good, they're going to be able to tell the damage was recent.

i was just a light accident 2 weeks ago and had a body shop repairing my bumpers. when i picked it up and started it up, i also had all 3 of those lights on. the body shop then towed it to an Acura dealer where they checked the error codes and they came up with $1900 to replace some ABS modulator thingy. After ordering and replacing that, i just found out that they started it up and got a bunch of other codes telling them to replace some other parts. Who the F knows whats wrong with it, but as long as insurance is paying for all these new parts in my car, i dont care. It's probably some loose wire somewhere from when the body shop worked on the car.
