Default Brake, TC, ABS, HDC lights on after lift install.

I have a 2000 Land Rover Discovery with 153,000 miles. I havent had any problems with it lately. I installed TF's 3in lift on Sunday and when I turned on my car I had the Brake, TC, HDC and ABS lights on. Everything is working normally, but it freaks me out to drive with a christmas tree in the dash warning center. I did unhook my brakes and ABS lines to do the install, but I hooked everything back up. I even double checked after i saw the lights on. Any ideas? Is there any place I can pick up an ABS code reader on the cheap? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Another good thing to note is that I already did the ABS shutter valve workaround about 7,000 miles ago. And I double checked the connections there and all seems to be good. So, I would appreciate any ideas.I saw one other thread on here about all four lights being on after a pressure wash, but all other threads I have read are only the 3 amigos, and most of them are the shutter valve. But I am willing to check and recheck anything you guys think it could be.

Yep. It was unhooking the ABS sensor that caused your problem. I had to clear mine after installing my lift too. Where are you located? Someone nearby might have a scanner that can clear the codes.

Awesome. If I would have known that I would have tried the install without unhooking the abs. But I'm glad that happened to you too, it's reassuring. I'm located in fort bragg North Carolina. If anybody is near I would appreciate a reset. Do I have to have it reset or can I disconnect my battery for an extended period of time. And unplugging the abs sensor will turn my brake light on too? Thanks for the quick reply man.

Ok, just in case anyone sees this post because they have the same problem. It turns out that I am a complete idiot. In order to get the front drivers side shock tower out, I unplugged the two multiplugs from the ABS Modulator. Well, like a complete idiot I completely forgot to hook them back up. And after the lights came on I only thought to check the abs connections at the rear. Although once I figured it out, I completely unhooked the battery, reconnected the multiplugs, and all four lights went off in the dash. So I am good to go now. Sorry for wasting everyones time, but on the bright side anyone reading this now knows which lights come on if your ABS Modulator is not connected. And they also that reconnecting with the battery off will apparently turn the lights off for that.
