Search "clear ABS dtc" or "clear ABS codes" in the 100 forum and you'll get multiple hits including a full list of ABS related DTCs and how to approach each one.
In short: ignition off, jump TC and E1 in the DLC1 connector, which is under the hood on passenger side fender, ignition on and you should get the ABS light flashing two digit sequences to decipher - but if you just want to clear them push the brake pedal 9 times in less than 5 seconds. Ignition off and remove the jumper and see what the result is. If you immediately go back to a fault state then you've got a real fault (as opposed to a spurious transient) that needs to be followed through.
 
Perform this at your own risk. This procedure is good for code 36 and 39 only. Will not work with other code. However, the resetting of ECU code will work for everything else.

Okay, you have to jump E1 and TS on the DLC1 connector which is under the hood right by the passenger side. View attachment 285295
Once you jump the two terminals, turn the ignition key to second position but do not start the engine. You will notice that your dash lights are going crazy. Concentrate on the VSC light. Count how many times it blinks before it stops for about a second and starts to blink again. For instance, if it blinks twice then stops and blinks once, that is a code twenty one. If you get code 36 and 39 then you have to reset the yaw rate and deceleration sensor. Heres how to do it.

You must first erase the previous memory by performing the following:
1. Shift the shift lever to P.
2. Turn the ignition switch to 2nd position, do not start engine.
3. With the ignition switch on, jump terminals E1 and TS with a small wire and repeat with a cycle of short and open between terminals 4 times or more within 8 seconc. Check that the VSC light is lit indicating the recorded zero point is erased.
4. Turn ignition swith off.

Once the previous memory is cleared you can calibrate the yaw and deceleration sensor by doing the following:

To calibrate the yaw rate sensor do this:
1. Connect TS and E1 terminals.
2. Turn Ignition on. Vehicle must be stationary and shift lever in Park. Do not rock vehicle or start it.
3. Check VSC light goes off about 15 Second after the ignition switch is turned on. It is normal if the light does not turn off after 15 seconds and starts blinking rapidly. The yaw rate sensor is calibrated at that point.
4. After the VSC light goes off, wait 2 seconds then turn the ignition off.

To calibrate the deceleration sensor:
1. Connect TS and E1 terminals.
2. Turn Ignition on.
3. Again do not rock vehicle and make sure it is in Park.
4. After turning on Ignition, check the VSC light is lit for about 4 seconds and then starts quick blinking at .13 second intervals.
5. After the blinking of the VSC light for 2 second, turn ignition off.
6. Remove jumper wire from Ts and E1.

Now all you have to do is to erase the VSC/VSC Off code by doing this:
1. Jump TC and E1 again.
2. Turn ignition switch on.
3. Clear the Diagnostic trouble code by stepping on the brade pedal 8 or more times within 5 second.
4. Check and see if the VSC light blinks normally.
Normally equals code 11 or 21 or in my case a continuous quick bliniking.
5. Switch off ignition and remove jumper wire.
6. Start vehicle and see if the light comes back.

Good luck.

16 years later… used this tonight. Reset yaw sensor that techstream couldn’t touch. My procedure was a little different, didn’t have to count flashes, maybe because of the techstream tries. Jumped these 2, turned the key on and got flashing abs abs and vac, turned key off and all was good! Thanks!!
