Well, it will set a code in the PCM so you can have it scanned. Be advised that when the light is lit the ABS will NOT operate. So try and stay out of situations where you think it would've come in handy. Unlike this guy...

will do....a buddy of mine has a matco brake scanner, will check it out tomorow. did a search here and seems to point to a vss sensor...... will wait to scan before i put out cash for parts though,(guess that "mobile home" was'nt mobile enouge to "dodge" that truck) lol by the way, i've got a obd II scanner, but it wont pick up the abs code..... Thanks, Britt

Maybe you have a bad connection that got jostled when you did the brakes?It could be the VSS, but is it shifting any harder than it did before? OD light blinking?
If not, it could be a sensor in the front too... Beware, if it is a front sensor, sometimes a wheel bearing going bad covers the sensor with metal bits

Mine did the same thing new on the maiden voyage home from the dealer (dealer was 1,000 from home) turned out to be the sensor on a wheel.

I have the ABS light come on over the years, and it was always the front Wheel Speed Sensor. Easy to remove clean up and reinstall. Then works fine for another 10-15K.
