ABS and Slip Light

I'm in the boat that you likely have a damaged sensor, but it's totally possible that an alignment that's really bad could do this.

Did you do LCA's without toe arms perhaps?

I have to turn the steering wheel about 1/8 of a turn to the left to drive straight. I remember hitting a pothole with the front wheel yesterday do you think that would be enough to mess up a sensor? I'm thinking about bringing it to an alignment shop before the dealership.

Certainly would! An alignment shop will be able to check the sensor as well. Hopefully you haven bent anything to bad.

Did you check to see if your brake/tail lights work yet?

I know it sounds silly but I've heard of this same exact issue at least 3 times and it was the brake light switch (or possibly even the fuse like someone else mentioned on here)

Do you have aftermarket tails? When it happened to my buddy it was right after he installed a set.

Just checked, brake lights work. I have aftermarket tails but they have been on a year

Yes if your using oft to read codes it only appears to read engine codes from engine ecu. So it the cel light is from another control unit the oft doesnt see it, if you have torque app or other code scanner it will likely show you the code from the teaction vsc system.

However the oft will log wheel speed sensors and steering angles from memory, check if your getting readings from all wheel speed sensors, but you rearly need the dtc code

Check your fuses for that one! Mine was like that the second time when I hit the brakes.

I have the same issue. Turns out its a brake pedal sensor or something. Its reproducible for me if i give just enough brake pressure for the brake lights to come on for a second or 2. It doesn't seem to cause any problems though (no limp mode) so I've just been living with it.

Hmm, seems like my fuses are good, and my brake lights do work. What's odd is that they only come on when the car is in drive and I turn on the lights. I'm hoping that it is related to a bad wheel bearing that I'm getting checked soon

Highly unlikely that the car has any idea what the status of the wheel bearing is.

Sounds like you have a wiring issue.

you're absolutely right! Last thing I didn't mess with was my iJDMToy 4th brake light. I removed the splicers and all is well again. Maybe I didn't install it correctly? Although the lights only became an issue well after I did the install. Oh well, hope this helps out someone in the future!

Had this issue as well. Brake light was done.. cheapest fix you can possibly do on your car.. 16$ for the part and don't let anyone charge you labor for that... youtube it it's literally plug and play.

The only thing is be careful until you fix it as all assists including ABS are shut off when the brake light fails for some reason.

I got these lights on solid when my car was hit back in March, though that makes it pretty obvious why it happened in my case. The car basically freaked out from the impact and sudden change in direction, and since I was hit in the front left corner that wheel and tire had a very positive camber situation going on. Along with that the TC was completely turned off, and the rear tires would light up like I was on a drag strip thanks to being on snow tires in the rain. Interestingly, when I went to turn the car back on a few days later after the accident (it sat unmoved for most of the week) those lights had turned off.

Anyway, if you haven't been involved in an accident, as others have said it's likely things got very thrown off/damaged/loosened by this pothole impact. Hopefully an alignment will have you back on your way.
