2004 TL Warning light VSA and Exclamation Help please!!

I have a 2004 Acura TL I just had new wheel bearings and compliance bushings installed plus after market abs sensors. Started driving it and ended up with an ABS Light, Brake Light, VSA Light, and the exclamation point. Great four codes.. Come to find out the wheel bearings were installed backwards with the magnetic pickup for the ABS on the outside. Took it back to the shop they put new bearings in the right way. Now I have the dam exclamation point still and after driving for about 500ft the VSA light kicks on as well.. I have checked fuses and the switch. Is there someway to clear the code or what can I try.. Really don't want to take it to the Acura Stealership!! Thanks guys

Did you disconnect the battery for a few minutes?

Are you sure the wheel sensors were properly installed?

The wheel sensors were installed correctly they are aftermarket idk if that could make a difference. If they were installed incorrectly I would think it would throw an abs code anyways...

You might want to go to Autozone or some place like that where you can get the codes pulled/read. This and/or go back to the place where you had all the work done and get them to sort it out as I'm assuming you weren't having these issues beforehand.

A regular scanner won't pull the code.. Also my buddy has a solous and it won't reset the code either. The guy that did the work doesn't know what to do!!! hopefully I'm not acura bound!!!

wheel bearings were actually put in backwards there is a magnet on one side. The shop that pressed them in didn't know that.

Problem is gone had to remove everything again and install new wheel bearings for the second time with the magnets facing the right way and the codes were able to be cleared.
