I'm no expert but could it be disturbed dust or other crud that has found it's way between the ABS sensor and the ring?

That or a loose wire makes most sense, something has been loosened or disconnected in the brake/ disc/ bearing work, so that's the place to look.

What's interesting is that the lights came on after a few minutes driving, rather than straight away - does the ABS system take some time to turn itself on or something?

good luck

yeah i first noticed all lights come on after hitting speeds over 55mph.then after stopping and restarting engine.it goes off,but then comes back on after a few mins of driving,but when taking it back to garage even driving a 30mph it came on.???
yeah they replace 1 sensor an said they had cleaned all others an still problem???i wondering if they av change wrong sensor,as they said they were struggling to find which sensor was at fault???how this???mechanics???cowboys,this will teach me not to take it to dealer ship,something so simple they av created massive problem just from changing brakes...etc..crazy..
