Default ABS light stays on
Replaced the front brakes on my '98 Grand and now my abs light stays on.
Went back and redid everything but the light is still on. Please help/advise.

Checked ABS wires on both sides and found no knicks. ABS light still on in dash. Brakes seem to be fine.

Just went out and checked every ABS fuse under the hood and in the kick panel on the passenger side. They all are good. ABS light still on.

You could also try disconnecting your battery. It might release the old code.

Heard low brake fluid would even cause the light to come on.
