Just did my brakes, ABS light is now on.

Hey.. I just replaced the front rotors/pads with Brembo slotted/dimpled and Axxis Ultimates. Went for a test drive to "break them in", and everything seemed fine. Turned off the car, visually inspected everything again, turned on the car, and now the ABS light is on. I did this with the help of a friend, that happens to be a mechanic. We could not figure out why we tripped the ABS light, plus it was getting dark, so we'll leave it for another day. Do any of you have any idea what would cause this to happen? Thanks. =/

I'm sure it's going to have to do with a wheel sensor. Either damaged or a bad connection.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but I figured it out and it went away. When I came back from the test drive, I jacked up the car, took off both front wheels, and put it in drive, so that I could inspect the rotors turning, and make sure nothing was wrong. I guess when the ABS sensor "sensed" that there were no wheels on the car, it flipped out and threw a code. I went for another drive just now and the light stayed on for about 10 seconds, and it went off. YAY!

Thank you all for your suggestions.
