there is an ABS relay under the hood, right hand side...could need replacement

you might knocked loose the ABS sensor while replacing pads and calipers

mac , must try completely ( equivelent to a "Flush") bleeding wheel cylinders , start w/ master cyl. lines then m/cyl. "bleeder" (low on pass. side of cyl.) then bleed Rr , Lf , Lr , Rf , pumping 3-5 times ea and do everything twice , better even three full passes . Now see if ABS better - your gonna have that solid "brick" feel & stop on a dime anyways - this can't hurt and likely will cure original problem ! (the brake fluid many times "equalize"s within proportioning valve & rest of the complex ABS circuits- is what's going on) I bleed brakes twice a year on all my cars -that's just me - I can stop extremely confidently !! :dblthumb: Glen 11/25/2017
