Default 1998 ES300 ABS Diagnoses

During a replacement of the rear struts on my 1998 ES300 I noticed that the brake assemblies were hanging by the ABS cables and not the support cables I made.

* The ABS light is always on.
* The brakes will lock if I press really hard while driving
* I inspected the cables closely and couldn't find and breakage.

What damage did I cause when the brake assemblies where hanging by the ABS cables?

ABS sensor wires are probably broken internally, this is very common during strut replacements.
