I'd check the abs sensors.

i think for traction control you just turn the car to ACC or On, turn the wheel all the way to left then all the way to right and it goes off next time you turn it on.

Jeez..........I can't believe it! Get a freakin manual and read it..........this car ain't no civic!
As Bacon eluded to...............everytime you disconnect the battery this is gonna happen. Turn the car to "On" but do not start. Turn wheel either way all the way, then all the way to the other side. Turn the key off. Next time you start it all will be normal. If they don't go off after you've done this, then you messed up something!

Tried turning the wheel did not work checked all sensors for the ABS they are all unharmed and have good connection also fuse for ABS is good. Anybody with any more ideas? i can not be the only person that has dealt with this? i am not an idiot when it comes to automotive mechanics and from what i know i did not mess with any thing other than the strut bolts and upper control arm bolts in front and sway and coltrol arm bolts in rear all ideas welcome thanks for all the help

Well............if you followed what I wrote above and it didn't turn them off, then I would start looking at each connector at each wheel. I know you felt like you did this, but it's really all I can think of. As you said.........there shouldn't have been any compromise via pinching or stress involved to the ABS when doing the coilovers, but it's all I can think of for now. did you have trouble on one corner vs. the others? I'd start there if you did.
Also, while I said you can turn the wheel either way to begin with(and I think you can), I always turned the car on(don't start), then went all the way to the right and then all the way to the left. Then shut it off for at least a few seconds and started as normal. It's worth a try if you went to the left first???????
I'll see what else I think of besides maybe the connectors or wires, but can't think of anything else off hand. Unplug those connectors carefully and reconnect them.
Did you mess with the E-brake at all while doing the rear?

will try again as you stated but come to think my E-brake was on the entire time i had the car up both front and rear

all the way left (till it stops).... all the way right (till is stops), traction light will turn off but abs will stay on..... turn the key all the way to the off position (remove key), turn car on

if still on... pray

^.................FYI..............seen it work both ways. I've always gone to the right first.
