About a month ago I put new brake pads on 2000. Since I'm real close to the 200K mile club I thought it might be a good idea to flush and bleed the brake fluid. I bought a pressure bleeder and all seemed to go well. I sucked the old fluid out of the master cylinder and pushed a lot of fluid through the system.

But now my ABS light comes on at random times. Then goes off after a stop and restart. Did I miss trick on the brake bleeding? Seems to stop just fine.

Thanks in advance.

You might just have a small air pocket in the ABS unit. Usually when you bleed brakes you also can do whats called an ABS module bleed. What that dose is actuate the valves inside the ABS pump and allows fluid to flow throw the pump. Although you need special equipment to perform this test, but what you could try is to drive the vehicle and break really hard in order to activate the ABS.
