Default 2008 LS 460 braking problem

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a2008 LS 460 and was working some things out. I replaced a rear wheel bearing which was making noise, it went well, the noise is gone, but now the car will have the traction light come on and off when I brake and simultaneously have vibrations similar to ones in the winter when your wheels slide on ice, at some point the car started to brake normally but the abs and traction light became permanent on the dash, the code said to clean the abs sensor on the wheel I worked on. I did that and the lights went off, but the car started to brake the same way It was braking before the light came on. It looks like it’s a computer reading problem. Would appreciate any advice suggestions on this. Thank you much!

Wrong or cheap hub? Did you replace the bearing in the original hub or use a complete unit? Sensor was damaged when replacing? Have you retrieved any trouble codes with a reader? You didn't give us much info to go on.

I’m sorry, this is the first time I post here. I do not know the code, but I know my local O’Relly told me the code was reading as “foreign object blocking sensor” I took it off, cleaned it, and the ABS light is gone, now, only the traction light is coming on when I apply the brakes. I replaced the complete bearing unit. I already ordered a new sensor in case the sensor was damaged, but since I don’t have the code on I think the sensor should be good. Thank you
