Default DASHBOARD looks like a XMAS TREE - ABS sensor plug & OTG

Before I get busted, yes i searched and this is a diff question than the other threads on these VSC TRAC lights

so i put on my new rims and OTG spacers today ( pics tomorrow). no big problem , tho the rear driver side took awhile to get situated. I ended up gettin really sick when i was almost done. I barfed, choked, and struggled thru the last wheel. When i started up the car and took it for a test drive i forgot to pulg in one of the rear ABS sensor plugs, thus the dash about exploded with lights: VSC Trac BRAKE ABS. Once i pulled back into the garage i reached around the back of the wheel and managed to plug the harness back in, but the lights didnt go out. Should reseting the ECU clear this? Anything else that could turn on the lights?

Thst type of trouble code is hard coded in the ecu. It needs to be reset through diagnostics.

Double check your ebrake connection snd see if a wire was pulled out. what you described is exactly what happens when the ebrake sensor is not plugged in. All your idiot lights should go back off when you plug the ebrake connection back in and turn your car off and then back on.
