Default TCS LIGHT IS ON!! 2001 accord v6

hey guys i was wondering if any one can help me??
i have a previously salvaged 2001 accord v6 and it was hit in the right side (took out the abs and all) so after it was all repaired i drove it for a day and then it started shakeing realy bad and the TCS light and check engine came on!
so i took it to the dealer and thay said my cam positioning sensor was bad and possibly the pully it reads off of.
so i got that replaced and did the 100,000 mile tune up while i was at it (water pump, sparkplugs, belts etc..)
the dealer charged me $200 for diagnostics but after all that the car stoped shakeing and the checkengine went off but the TCS stayed on!!!
and everytime i go to the dealer they charge me $100 and tell me i need a new abs computer so i get one at the junk yard and the tell me its bad get a new one then charge me $100 for diagnostics
so i went there 5 times back and forth with different computers just to get charged $100 bucks and get sent away so then i finaly just took my friends perfectly good abs computer (off his running car) and put it on, took it to the dealer got charged 96.56 for diagnostics and got sent away.
they said thats a bad computer too
clearly this is a miss diagnosis
and i'm tired of throwing money at them
SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!
ALL IDEAS WELCOME!

most likely abs wheel speed sensor failed causing tcs light to come on and you could have pulled the codes and found the problem

yes speed sensor codes would come on but when they tested them directly they were completely fine
