Default ABS Problems

I have replaced rotors and pads and my front brakes still is grabby not smooth. My ABS light is on. I pulled the ABS fuse and it didn't make much difference, maybe a little but not much. I'm going to install the ABS fuse and see what happens. If the ABS light comes back on. Meanwhile before I take it back to the dealership does anyone have any ideas. I've researched the problem using the search feature.

brakes drag = insufficient brake pedal or hand lever free play, caliper piston worn or damaged, or excessive brake fluid in reservoir.

This per the service manual.

You need to buy a service manual because most trouble shooting can be quite lengthy.

I have the service manual and have completed most of the trouble shooting. I have found that service manuals provide a lot of great information even if you never intend to work on your ride.
