There are no grantees! Check your fluid, I'm sure you did that. Check your codes.

Try getting a code reader and clear the codes, if its still there it may think the problem is still there.

A lot of readers will not read our PSD's. You have to find one that will.

Not saying that this is the answer, but check that the connector hasn't come loose. It is in the vicinity of the master cylinder. I was under the hood and knocked mine off once and the light would come on after I touched the brakes.

My ABS light would not go off either after I replaced my rear ABS sensor. After researching around, we found out it was the RABS Valve. It is located on the frame rail on the drivers side near the front wheel. You can pick one up at NAPA for around $150 (if I remember correctly). I replaced it, and have not had any other problems.
