Needs to be scanned with an abs function scanner for a proper daignosis.

You need it scanned with a ABS scanner to figure out what the problem really
is. It could be a screwed up wire, or wheel sensor, and the list goes on.
It can be a cheap fix, to a expensive fix. Just replacing parts you think
it might be can get pretty expensive and a huge waste of time. Was the ABS
light on before you replaced the rear brakes? I could make a guess what it
could be and test it, but your better just getting scanned. A cheap OBDII
scanner will NOT read ABS codes even though they both plug into the same
port.

Never one to make assumptions. You have checked the brake fluid level AND
made sure the float is not stuck to the bottom of the reservoir tripping the
brake
warning lights?
