I got this 2010 Titan SV LWB and its rear wheel bearing is now faulty, triggering ABS, VDC, and the 'car skid' icon lights. What happened was after running through a short bumpy road my rear wheel bearing just kinda wear off, so I had to drive very slowly back home. So I immediately checked when I got home and found the rear axle damaged and the bearings shattered into pieces. Replaced and repaired everything needed. Now, the truck seems to be back to normal though the warning lights are still on, and I cant switch to 4WD. I think the ABS sensor on the affected side was damaged by the heat from the bad bearing. Any thoughts?
 
The ABS sensor could be the issue especially if it was exposed to heat, uou might need to reset the system or replace the damaged sensor to fix the warning lights and 4WD issue
 
Yeah I think the ABS sensor got fried from the heat so replacing that sensor and resetting the system should make the 4WD work fine again
 
Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. You did replace everything you were supposed to, but did you clear the codes? Try that and see if any of the errors on the dash come back

Man, the heat and physical trauma from the bearing disintegrating almost certainly fried or damaged the sensor and its wiring.
That's why your ABS, VDC, and skid lights are on, and also why you can't engage 4WD (the system needs good wheel speed data from all corners).
Your next move is to scan for ABS specific codes (a basic OBD-II scanner often won't show them).
That will tell you exactly which sensor is reporting the fault. Once confirmed, replace that sensor, clear the codes, and you should be good to go
