ABS service required and STC service Required
ABS service required and STC service Required
I changed my struts yesterday on my 2001 s60 with 169,000. They were the original struts so they were kind of a pain in the butt. I put everything back together right and the car rides A LOT better. However, my ABS light and STC light are on. I also get a check engine light for a "vehicle speed sensor A." I tried to reset the car by unplugging the negative terminal but that did not work. I rechecked the ABS sensors and they look fine, as does the wiring. They aren't too tight are loose. I am clueless because I had no problems before this. The lights won't go away. Help please.

It is really easy to break the ABS sensor wires by letting the caliper hang, even if the insulation looks good. The wires are thin gauge inside the sleeve.
You can check the resistance ( about 2k Ohm?) from up top if you find the ABS connector and confirm a bad wire.
New sensor or find break and solder wires.
There is some documentation in my 1999 maintenance log thread

So I've ordered a new sensor for the driver's side along with a speed sensor for the transmission. I was reading deep within posts on this site and found that the transmission one could be the problem. I'm going to try one first and see if it works and if not try the other. Hopefully I'll have an update in a couple days. Thanks.

It could be the trans one but if you were working on the struts, Occams razor probably cut one of the wheel sensors, like I did.

I ended up taking my car to the dealer and they said that my right ABS sensor was not tight. I don't know how it was loose but I remember making sure it was tightened and my brother saw me do it. Anyways, the lights are off and has been fine for the day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the help!

They ground through the attach screw so if it gets loose you will get the ABS fault
