ABS issue on 2005 XLT

Ok, I changed my front brake pads and rotors last week and since then everytime I get in the truck and drive for about the first 2 or 3 miles when I push the brake pedal it feels like my ABS sytem is activating. Then it stops and the ABS light comes on but the brake pedal stops pulsating when depressed. Is my ABS going bad or did I possibly do something wrong? I have changed the rotors and pads before without problems....

Hey KYMEDIC

I have a 03 Ranger and the same thing happened when i did my front brakes (new pads,Rotors and wheel bearings) i loosened the bleed screws on both calipers so i could spread the new pads enough to fit on the rotors. I asked a local Ford Mech an he said that i need to bleed all four wheels now. Just thought i'd pass it along!
