Default ABS only Light on at start

The vehicle had a pin hole leak in the drivers rear line, fluid was depleted from the reservoir. I repaired the leak (with double flair fittings) bled the lines (all 4) to where clean brake fluid came out and brakes seem to function correctly now.
However the ABS light only, comes on with the ignition key and stays on. I do not have a code reader that will retrieve ABS codes. Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks!

Sounds like air got into the abs when the reservoir went dry. Your local auto parts store should be able to tell you the codes.

If it is just air in the abs system you can:

Option 1, find a friend or shop with a code reader with the ability to activate the automatic abs bleed. Then, bleed the lines again...

Option 2, find a safe patch of gravel road, parking lot etc and activate the abs system a few times. Then, bleed the lines again...

I would have the codes pulled and let us know for sure what they are. Never know, could be something else...

Hope that helps
