First I have been dealing with an incurable high idle and I get the iacv cell so I replaced the iacv and it is still idling at 1400 rpm, any ideas?

Second while I was testing out my new iacv I drove through my backyard which has 10 acres with a creek I sort of got a little stuck in and was able to dig my way out but now my abs light is on, it still drives fine I just am not sure what I messed up to cause the light to come on, any ideas?

idle - vacuum leak? intake gaskets/o-rings'

ABS - check your ABS wires at the wheels and wash out the mud.

I've checked all vacuum lines and I'm not getting a rich out lean code

It got to dark on me, I'm gonna wash it all of tomorrow and then check again

Broken wires from the ABS cables on the front or dusconnected. I did break the sensor piece inside the knuckle once mudding... You could have also scored up the tone ring.

Well I unplugged the battery and drove around for about 20 min and it hasn't come back on, I still need to clean it off and get under and make sure I didn't disconnect any wires, I mean I wasn't really going at it hard, I just slid into a small creek and had to give it some had going forward and backward the times and I got out of it, there wasn't any branches or rocks and ground clearance wasn't a concern so I think it must just be all the mud I threw around trying to do it
