Default esp, abs lights on after regearing

the esp bas, esp, and abs light on after mods. i got 5.13 gears, front and rear arb lockers, frnt axle tube seals, and adj rear track bar installed. when i first drove off from the shop the system was kicking in and droping my engine rpm, got home reprogramed with hypertech and seems to be driving fine, but all the lights still remain on. is this something to worry about or are the lights just going to stay on now? even though it seems to drive fine now, i dont know if anything is still wrong since the lights are staying on. any thoughts, comments appreciated

well for everyones future reference, my mechanic and i worked through all the ideas on this, when all of your lights go up on your dash and you hear srcaping noises metal to metal, dont blow it off to the dust cover rubbing the rotor or brake pads rubbing, take into consideration the bearings. come to figure out, because the rear pass wheel bearing exploded, the sensor was covered in metal shavings and shrapnal, that sent a bad signal to the computer setting off the abs light and the esp. for whatever reason, when he instaled new gearing and lockers, something went wrong with the bearing on the outer axle, but new bearing now, all lights on dash shut off on the first crank over. he was very good to me and he paid for the new bearing and labor cost, not a penny out of pocket. maybe this will help someone else in the future if they have any problems

Thanks for posting! Sorry nobody helped you, but you are helping me. My lights came on yesterday, and I haven't modded anything for at least 1000 miles, so I am cluess as to what broke.

I did experience the same problem all EPS, ABS, ... light came up. The problem was a improper wheel sensor mounted on the knuckle.

The procal helps you to find the 0 at the steering wheel, but don't help you to do anything with the ABS, EPS... sensors. Or at least I didn't read such configuration.

I just took out my rear sensors and they seem to be hitting my tone ring. Wonder if they are suppose to rub just a hair on them. I have all the lights on as well. I have a post about them hittin, nobody seems to be able to tell me if they touch slightly or not.
