ABS and ESP Warning
Hello All,
I recently changed out my lower ball joints and right after the ABS and ESP warning message came on the dash. I have been read the forums about these messages and the possibilities. I had to remove the speed sensors in the order to fit the new ball joints. I forced the steering by turning the wheels manually at the rotor (got lazy) and I think that what causes the problem. I also left the radio in the car playing for about 3 hours. After seeing the messages, I took the sensors off to see if they were dirty and clean them. I drove the car for awhile to charge the battery back up. I also did the steering reset (turning the wheel end to end and then center).
Anyone successfully fixing these error messages themselves.
Thank you
-Tom

It was
from the battery being drained.You figured it out but you should really get it on a charger to fully charge it and not put the load on the alternator.
10amps overnight will do.
Did you get it aligned after the bjoints?That is a must
