Default abs light

I just had my braided brake lines put on the front on Thursday and I detailed the engine bay on Friday night. After washing the car and detailing the engine my ABS light is staying on.

I unhooked the neg. cable and steeped on the peddle, unhooked both terminals, and unhooked the neg. terminal for a minimum of 10 min. I also scanned for codes but nothing came up.
I jacked up the front end and checked the brake lines, there is no leakage or any rubbing.

I'm at a loss other than the light being on the car runs fine andI can't notice anything different about the peddle.

Check the sensors and abs rings by each hub, they may have been damaged during the install. The lines themselves should not directly affect the abs unit. Detailing the engine bay may have popped the fuse or there may be water between the harness connector and module, try there too...wd-40 would take care of that.

did you let any air into the lines when you were bleeding the brakes?

Lower left corner of the engine bay, between the engine and radiator on the frame rail. The connector is on top, just pull the connector retainer back and it should pop out.
