DTC, ABS, TPS and Brake Lights still on after Speed Sensor replacement.

Hi all, I tried asking this question in another part of the forum but didnt get any response, so I guess I will try my luck here.

Had DTC, TPS, ABS and Brake lights all on, codes showed that it was left rear speed sensor. I replaced the sensor yesterday and the lights are still on

Does the code need to be cleared out in order for the lights to go off?

You can always try resetting your steering angle sensor by starting the car and turning the wheel lock to lock. Worth a shot, it's free and easy!

triple check the connection and make sure there's no dirt or debris

Thanks for the responses, apparently the car needed to be driven for a while to have the code clear out. All lights went away eventually after a bit of city/highway driving... maybe about 50miles or so Id say.

Time to order my JB4 now!
