Ok so finally got it all figured out. This ABS wire was causing everything to freak out. Tire pressure monitor was the most recent victim along with airbag sensor.

But all in all I dremeled off some more of the outer sheath to expose the red wire I cut(never came across such a thick out sheath on a wire. I think they use a technique of dipping the wires in a solution that dries and creates a protection layer cuz it was much more substantial than just two small wires inside a larger sheath).

Soldered in a new strip of wiring and wrapped the crap out of it in electrical tape as I couldn't get shrink wrap around the end of the sensor so only option. Started the car back up and only warning that was left was the TPMS. Easily fixed this by just resetting and taking a drive to let it Calibrate.

Glad you got this figured out! PM me if you ever need help with the virtual machine. Hopefully I'll actually get notified....

Ya will definitely happen soon. As I recall you need the ISTA to bleed the brakes correct?

Sounds good.

Yeah as far as I'm aware, ISTA would be used to activate the DSC pump and get any air out of that part of the system. I'm not positive this would be needed every time you bleed or not. I'm a novice brake bleeder
