Default ABS light

Hey guys. So I got hit a couple weeks ago and I got my vehicle back from the shop last night. So im driving and I hit a bump and I saw my abs light turn on for the first time ever. Its blinked a couple times and its alwayswhenI hit bumps. I knowI have a warped rotoron the Front Passenger side butI wouldnt think that would suddenly make it blink.Any thoughts?
Thanks

i know this is basic but check your abs fuse and the contacts that the fuse inserts into.

Probably your ABS harness has been damaged. It can be repaired for alot cheaper than replacing it in most cases.

am having a simular problem
when i start my truck, and start to drive i will hear a buzzing sound while my abs light is on then it will turn off
i think it might be the sensors going bad

The most common problem is a broken wire to the ABS sensor.

So most of the damage was on the drivers side. No damage to wheel that I can see. Im really unhappy with the company I went with. The hood still has a buckle in it, the fender isnt alligned correctly, the fender and door are orange peeled, then on my driver side glass I have someone elses vin eched into the glass, not to mention for lack of a better term the ds wheel appears to be dog legging.

i actually replaced the hub bearing some 20000 ago
its not really an annoyance i just dont want it messing up something and me not know it
ill back out of the driveway with no light, put it in gear, hear a buzzing sound for about 30 sec with no light, then it will quit and the light comes on and stays on
i havent hit anything, just driven it like i always do

see the problem with me was i replaced the hub bearing and light would go on after reverse as well, then i said why not see if it was a faulty hub bearing i just put on so i bought another hub bearing and installed that and there you go no more light. So basically autozone sold me a bad hub bearing.
