I didn't pull hard and soon realized the bearing was stuck due to the sensor not being removed. Upon inspection the sensor appeared fine but it may be fragile and the damage may not be visible. Anyway, after driving the car for about 5 minutes, the Traction and ABS lights came on. I scanned the car with my Open Flash and got P0462 which had to do with low fuel (I had half of a tank?). I erased the code and the traction and ABS lights are still on. No limp mode or CEL. I fear it may be due to the ABS sensor being possibly damaged but I'm not sure. The Open Flash still reads no codes but it does not read body codes so it could be the ABS Sensor. I have an old OBD2 code reader so I used that but still no code
Here's my question: Do you think a newer code reader would find the issue that an old code reader would not find? If so, which do you recommend
Also, any advice for diagnosing the issue without taking it to a dealership or shop that would charge me to diagnose it? Thanks

… that's fer not payen attention to what you were doin … replacing the wheel studs is a 2 beer job, not a 4 beer job!
Now that you messed up the sensor and you know how it comes off and goes on, I suggest you buy a new sensor and put it on.
Then take er fer a spin and report back.
