Exclamation Help - Problem w/ Revtek Lift - ABS, VSC, VSC-OFF LIGHTS

Help! I bought a Revtek 3" suspension lift (part #431) and had it installed professionaly at a shop but now have problems. My 4runner is a 2004 SR5, 2WD. Immediately after the lift was installed, the VSC, VSC OFF, and ABS lights lit up on the dash (no check engine light). They plugged in thier computer reader thing and it said there is a sensor error at the right front tire and a ABS malfunction. The shop checked the sensors but they swear everything is working properly. Anyone else have a similar issue or anyone know what to do.

Already tried disconnecting battery, reseting error, pulling FCU (or whatever it is) fuse.

Please help!

They may not have been careful with the ABS sensor wire when installing your spacers. In this case they probably damaged the wiring. You must be very careful about the ABS wire not to stretch it. I'd almost guarentee you this is what is happening.

I agree with the previous two posts. Been there, done that. Replace the ABS sensor wire and your problem will be solved.

Thanks for the responses. The sensor is already on order so hopefully that will fix the problem.

You lower a Lexus or lift a 4runner...same result. Watch those ABS sensor cables...
