While working on the brakes the brake fluid drained from master cylinder ever since then the ABS warning light turns on. Could air still be trapped that causes this or do I need to do other diagnostic on system?

Hello,

Have you bled the system after adding fluid?
Keep in mind that this ABS system will require a scan tool to bleed properly.

The ABS light can be on due to a number of reasons. Could be for a sensor, wiring issue, master cylinder, module etc.
Best course of action would be to scan and retrieve the ABS code(s), this can help with the diagnostics.

Here is a helpful guide

Please let me what codes you are able to retrieve or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
