ABS/Wheel Speed Sensor issue after changing driveshaft

Hi All,

I have a 2014 Fit Hybrid GP5. I recently changed my front left driveshaft due to worn CV joints and since the replacement, I'm getting ABS, VSA, Hillstart Assist, Traction Control, etc. lights on the dash. I only disconnected the suspension shock from the hub to allow installing. I have inspected the ABS sensors itself and it appears to be in good condition. The only thing I can think of is that I possibly strained some of the cables going to the sensor when I was removing/installing the driveshaft.

I have a fairly basic OBD2 reader, which is showing no codes. Anybody got any experience with this?

I took my wife's 2015 Pilot in a month or so ago to get the struts replaced. After getting it back, we kept getting the ABS and traction dash lights popping up. I only have a basic OBD reader as well, so I took it to Autozone and they put their fancy scanner on it and said the left front ABS sensor was bad. I took the wheel off and noticed that the little bracket that holds the ABS sensor cable up at the top of the wheel well was bent up and kinda kinking the cable. I bent it back down and the dash lights all went off and have stayed off since.

I know it's not a FIT, but I'd imagine the ABS sensors are fairly similar.. and it does seem like the cables for them are pretty sensitive to bending/kinking.

I'll have a look at the wiring this weekend. If I can't see any obvious damage, I'll try investigating further with a multimeter. I'm just hoping I having cracked the reluctor ring.
