Exclamation Another ABS Light Question; Please Help!

i went to the race track today for the first time for some road racing. of course, i was being really hard on the brakes during my runs. when i left to go home on the highway, the ABS light suddenly turns on one hour into the trip back home. when i was at the track, there were no problems. i probably went for about 5-6 runs total (each about 15 minutes) and the car was turned off in between the runs to cool down.

why would the ABS light suddenly come on for no reason? i just replaced the front pads and rotors last week with brembo blanks and axxis ultimate kevlar pads. this set up does produce more brake dust than the stock ones (the old brakes were stock). could it be that the dust is clogging up the ABS sensor somehow? i tried resetting the ECU, but the ABS light is still there.

please help me out fellas

oh yea, and i did search, but didnt find much.

its hard to see the abs sensor gear without pulling off the dust guard. I doubt they're actually related, but have the code scanned, see what it says. you might have clogged a sensor up.
