you didnt pinch any of the lines did you..? like the brake lines? or maybe the mph sensor?... as far as just putting on new shocks goes..you shouldnt be getting any of those problems. Unless you did something wrong did you just put the struts in? howd you go about doing it? you didnt remove the whole brake system did you?

hoping you did not leave the assy hanging in the air during the install,if so it is possible to break the sensor to the brakes or pinch a line in a weird way,but it is hard to do........what else did you do other than install struts.

I didnt take anything but the struts off and if anything was hanging it was just for a second to grab the new strut.... i did them all one by one and everything went smooth.. didnt fall into any snafoosl... thought everything was done and great until i turned the car on...

Make sure Tire is inflated to specs, reach into the glove box and hold the reset button. the light will blink 3 times and go off, the TPMS will be activated for relearn procedure for 10 mins of light driving. This will take care of your tire light assuming your sensors are working properly and you have the right tire pressures.

as for the ABS light, try having a shop scan the Code, that will give you a starting point.
