I replaced master cylinder, rear brake shoes bleed all four wheel cylinders, rear right rear left, front right front left. After which ABS and brake light came on. They were not on before I changed master cylinder or rear brakes. Front disc brakes are good. How do I turn off ABS and brake light?

Hi,

Normally, when both these lights are on it is the wheel speed sensor. This would make sense if you happen to disconnect them while doing the brakes. If you didn't get the connector back together just right it will have an open circuit and turn these lights on.

Easiest thing to do is check each one and if they are tight, then just have the codes pulled. We could be chasing this for a while without the codes. They will put us on the correct path and I am sure we will figure it out quickly if it is not the speed sensor connector. Just make sure if you get a parts store to pull the codes for you that they have a scanner that pulls ABS codes. Not all can and if they can't they will tell you there are no codes. However, with these lights on, there are codes.

Let me know what you find. Thanks
