Are your brake lights functioning properly? The brake light switch is part of the ABS system and could be causing the ABS light. Do you have someone who can read ABS codes with their AE? This would help to point you in the right direction. You can test the ABS sensor by unplugging it at the connector behind the inner fender and connecting it the test leads of a DVOM or analog meter and set the scale to a low AC volt setting. Spin the wheel and you should see a fluctuating AC reading. I use this method to test the ABS on the tractor/trailer rigs at work and have done this test on my personal and family member's vehicles as well.

I just did a flush 4 months ago when I had to replace the master cylinder and the hydro booster and also a full brake fluid flush.
