Question 1997 F150 abs

My truck turned over 100K and I recently had all the rotors replaced w/new bearings and breaks. Now, the abs light is on. The shop assured me there is no air in the line and that the fluid is good.

I've heard that sometimes metal shavings get lodged in the seals of the differential. If this is likely, what's the quickest and least expensive method of trying to fix the problem.

Any other scenarios and suggestions as to the possible reason and solutions will be much appreciated.

Thank You,

Hi Mike and welcome to FTE

Like TheBrokenMarine said it's probably something simple like a wheel speed sensor. When the ABS light comes on the system stores a trouble code in the ABS module. You can get that retrieved by someone with a scan tool such as your dealer. That will get you headed in the right direction to fix it.
