Default '98 4X4 Ram 2500 ABS and Brake lights

A corroded brake line caused my abs and brake lights to go on. After fixing the line, I can't clear them. I understand in may be an abs sensor. I've read about a rear abs speed sensor and and abs front brake sensor. Is there a cheap reliable way to determine what is causing the problem?
Thx, Rich

Perhaps disconnecting the battery for a hour or so will clear them? Easiest way I know of clearing codes.

Did you let the fluid run all the way down, you may need to re bleed a couple of times.
After that I would check the speed sensors.
Back first.... I don't know what the resistance is on this I think there was a thread on this.
Front second, (if you have 4WAL) those are about 995ohms you can unplug them under the hood right over the wheel well.

But it's probably still got some air in the lines....

Hey,
Thx for the reply. I disconnected the battery so I think its something else. I found some other threads talking about bad sensors but just trouble shooting that might get expensive.

Thx Veeten,
I'll try bleeding the lines. I'll let you know if it works.
