Default 00 RT with ABS and BRAKE light on?

Ok, I got my busted rear main brake line fixed. Replaced fluid lost. Bleed brakes. Both rears. Adjusted rear brakes with new hardware. Now, I have a ABS light along with the BRAKE warning light on. I did a battery shut down for 30 min. to reset.... But lights are still on. Fluid level is full. Brakes feel fantastic. Never better. I replaced front calipers last year with new pads, and never had a light issue.
Truck is a 2000 RT with 88k miles. I put a OBDll code reader on. NONE.
What else could I check without going to a dealer.
Thanks for any help.

ABS codes can't be read with a standard reader. If the ABS lamp is on there should be a code stored in it.

It may be the combination valve, the brake warning lamp. You would have tripped it when the line failed. Applying the brakes hard should recenter it.

If you take the wire off of the valve and the light goes out, it's bad.

Follow both brake lines from the master cylinder and they should go into an block with a wire on it.
