    I had the fender liner above the front right wheel come loose and break off on the highway. Immediately after, ABS and traction control light went on and have been on since. Does that mean there likely was physical damage to the ABS system (ABS sensor perhaps?). Should I try resetting the ABS system with the paperclip like some youtube videos suggest?

    I am 150 miles away from home and need to return before I can take it to shop, so really hope to find a fix before heading back.

    Already have the answer - reset didn't work and upon closer inspection found a torn wire, which most likely belongs to the ABS sensor.
