Default Flashing red thunderbolt

Posted this on wiring etc with no help maybe someone in this section can help!

Hey guys was Offroading today flexed and broke my passenger wheel speed sensor in the front. Later on in the day I went to go flex on the passenger side climbing a side of a hill when I did that the flashing red thunder bolt symbol came on my dash.... No performance issues everything drives as normal just have that flashing thunderbolt going. Could the broken wheel speed sensor be the cause of this? Thanks for your help!

Probably not, most likely independent events. The lightning bolt indicates an ETC fault(electronic throttle control). This includes the APP(accelerator pedal), throttle body and other throttle related issues.

The WSS is monitored by the ABS module and will throw an ABS, ESP, ESP/BAS light when a fault is indicated.

The two systems are interrelated as ESP uses traction control through the ABS module so codes like C0121 can affect both systems.

Best bet is to scan all the modules and see what you have.

Well I have the abs, esp, and traction control light on too but that's been on for a few months I knew I damaged a wheel speed sensor when I too the front end apart. But this weekend I installed a new lift kit and went out to test it. I ripped a wheel speed sensor out on the passenger side and only like and hour later when I went to flex on the right side did the light come on. So weird. I guess I need to buy some New sensors and am etc like u say.

P0108 indicates a MAP sensor failure. P0108 will set a CEL and cause the lighting bolt to flash.
