ABS Indicator Help!

Weirdest thing. I just installed some Tein Basics on the car and when I finished my ABS indicator light was on.

I checked the brake lines and wires, nothing disconnected there.

I also tried disconnecting the battery to reset. No help.

I had no problems before the install so I doubt that this is some legit problem with the ABS. But then again who knows.
Anyone know what it might be?

I hope someone out there can help me cause if not I will have to take it into the dealer, but thats gonna be a pain in the ass. I'll have to raise the car back up and hope this is covered under warranty. The cars only got 1200 miles on it.

Help someone!

There is a speed sensor located in the hub of each of the four wheels. Is it possible that while changing out the springs/struts you could have damaged or disconnected one of the sensors?

Possible. I checked the wires to see if there were any loose connections, but it's possible the sensor may have gotten damaged. I did have some problems with the axle popping out when i was replacing the endlink on the driver's side.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

I also just checked all the fuses and not a problem there.

Anyone have a diagram of the speed sensor in the hub mentioned above?
