Default ABS & Handbrake warning light on

Hi, any technical experts who can help... both my ABS & Handbrake warning lights are on, the fault lights came on at the same time. The speedo is out, so I have changed the front drivers ABS sensor, but with no effect.
As a note, I rebuilt the whole rear subframe and brake assembly but have not used the car for about 4 months, evrything was fine at the time thugh. Could this be a brake failure triggering via the ABS ECU? Any suggestions greatly appreciated, many thanks...

Have you actually driven it? The ABS needs a short test drive to reset, just up the road (100m) should do it.

Fixed a friend's car with similar non-speedo problem during the summer, but in his case it was the bearing at fault. Here's the testing method: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...light=abs+test

Fixed with a good, known working, s/h bearing - took about 2 hours to fit.

Regards,

Unless it's a bad sensor, then it's probably the bearing at fault. Three options:
Try the multimeter test, replace with a s/h bearing, or replace with new bearing.
