ABS and TCS light reset after pulling wheel speed sensor
I've done some searching on here and gathered enough information to know that the ABS ecu is separate, but I haven't found any information about how to reset the light on a 2012 Accord. I pulled my wheel speed sensor while replacing a wheel bearing and tripped the ABS light. Dealer is quoting $60 to hook it up and scan. Is there a way I can do this myself?
I connected my OBD scanner and scanned with the Torque app, but I don't think I can get/clear the codes from there since the ABS ecu is separate. Are there instructions somewhere that work with a 2012?

Re: ABS and TCS light reset after pulling wheel speed sensor
After more searching, this video actually did work for 8th gen Accords:
Unfortunately, my light came back on.
1. Short pins 4 & 9 on the OBD with a paperclip or wire while car is off
2. Press and hold brake pedal
3. Turn ignition to II
4. ABS light will turn on. Leave foot on brake pedal
5. When ABS light turns off, release brake pedal
6. When ABS light comes back on, press brake pedal
7. When ABS light turns off again, release brake pedal
8. ABS light will blink twice and stay off
And if you're unlucky like me, step 9 is take it to the dealer because ABS light will turn back on as soon as you start driving even though the sensor has been replaced.

Re: ABS and TCS light reset after pulling wheel speed sensor
Is there an easy way to test if the wheel bearing has been put in backwards without removing the knuckle??
