Default ABS and Brake Indicators on After Replacing PCM

My PCM was indeed the problem for the no bus thing. Now that that issue has been taken care of, my ABS and Brake indicator lights came on. I was out playing around and my anti-lock brakes DO NOT work. Is there a fix for this. Any ideas what's causing it?

You did have the dealer program you PCM with your VIN # BEFORE you stuck it in right?

Good question... I have no idea. I didn't put it in so I don't know.

yes, however you cannot drive the truck without the PCM in it, and it may not be cheap

Ok. At home I have another car I can drive while PCM is programmed. And are car parts/upkeep ever cheap? Hahaha.

Thank you for your help! :-)
