Default ABS light flashing??

I just had the wheels powdered on my bike. Ever since my Indy reinstalled them, my ABS light flashes on and off. The ABS seems to be working fine, just an annoying dummy light. Any suggestions?

Are the spacers for the front and rear wheels installed properly? Do they have powder coating on them also? There is two grooves on the large spacer and I know for a fact that the grooves go towards the outside of the bike. Those grooves are used by the ABS for something... I don't have ABS, but when I did my rear tire about 2 weeks ago, I went to put the spacer on and noticed the grooves. Took a look in the service manual and it states the grooves go towards the outside of the axle and sit inside of the brake mounting hardware and are used for the ABS. I worked on a buds bike and looked at his since it has ABS, I could see a wire or sensor something going into that housing.

I would not consider my ABS light flashing constantly an anonoying dummy light.

Like I said, the ABS appears to be working normally, but I don't want to find out the hard way when I am expecting it to work that it's not
