Question ABS light coming on

HI,

I recently replaced the upper and lower control arms on both sides of my 97 Mountaneer. Had front-end aligned. Drives nice, with one exception. After a few minutes of driving, 4-5min., the ABS light comes on and stays on.

In replacing the control arms, I had to remove the calipers(dual piston), caliper frame and the pads. Pads are in fine condition. Re-installed all parts and torqued the caliper retaining bolts to spec.

I did not bleed the brake line.

Any ideas why the ABS light is coming on?
Thanks....

Did you take the line off, or just leave it connected?

I left the brake line connected...... that is why I did not feel it necessary to bleed the line...
