No sig so will try anyway. If you have the pressure differential valve, then that needs to be reset. Sometimes when you bleed the brakes this valve senses a pressure loss and turns the ABS light on. It has a shuttle valve in it. You'll need a second person working the brakes. On the master cylinder, crack one of the lines loose but not to much, just enough to see fluid coming out. Then have the person on the brake push real fast and hard and hold the pedal. Then tighten the fitting. If this didn't turn the light off then try the next line and do the same. One line is for the front and the other for the rear. Hope this works. Also, check fluid level.
