Default Upgraded my brakes and now my ABS and Traction light are on

Ok, I'll try to give as much information as possible. I upgraded my brakes with the SVT front brake upgrade kit from American Muscle. So it has 14 inch front rotors, 4 piston brembo calipers and steel braided lines. Anyway, I put everything on, used a power bleeder to flush out my old brake fluid (I'm trying to get ready for a HPDE) and finished it off by using the old fashioned push the brake pedal technique. So I'm pretty dang sure I got all the air out of the lines. So I get everything buttoned up, wheels on and I decide to go on a test run. I turned on the car, let it warm up a minute or so and as I pull out of my driveway the wrench light comes on. I turned the car off, then back on and that went away. So I drive about a block and the ABS and traction light come on, and OFF is lite up on the traction control button. I show no codes, which doesn't surprise me since they normally don't pop up when its the ABS, but what could I check before taking it to the stealership?

Any help would be appreciated guys.


EDIT: If this happens to you, clean your speed sensors first. I had a friend suggest this to me and it cleared it up.

I would check the wheel speed/ABS sensors.

Yep I'm agree it should be a sensor problem, if one of them is damage or badly conected these lights will turn on. It´s very unlikely a ABS module problem since you dotn't touched it.
I sugest lift your car again remove the wheels and check the ABC/track sensors wheel by wheel before you take the car to a dealer.
