Default 96 ES300 Replaced Transmission now ABS Light On Brakes Good

Recently, I had a wrench replace the Transmission on my lady's 96 ES300.

Brake Fluid Full but the ABS light stays on and it appears the brakes work fine. I can feel the ABS kick in on braking over bumps.

Has anyone experienced this issue with the lights on all the time after trans replacement.

I am close to just removing the ABS relays but will attempt to bleed brakes, it needs it.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Jim

One of your axles might have been smashed and damaged the abs ring during the job. If the abs actuates when you know it shouldnt, thats probably the problem.

That's probably it, oh well. Will remove bloody relay to get rid of the idiot light.

Thanks for responding
