another abs inop, low traction, brake light

Can a low traction, abs inop, and brake light flashing over bumps be caused by my abs module not getting bled correctly?

I did a motor swap a year ago and im sure I didnt get the abs module bled correctly, ive only put about 300 miles on the car since and was just happy to drive it without abs for a while. I got the bug recently to cross all my t's and do all the little issues with the car(security light and whatnot). The abs inop light stays on, been that way since the swap, the brake and low traction light flash very briefly when I go over every other bump.

Can my improper bleeding of my abs module lead to the other lights? I plan on just taking the thing somewhere to do change all the brake fluid, even though its all new and they should be able to reset and bleed my abs mode correctly

If they have the tool to reset the ABS motors, they will be able to read the codes in the EBTCM module and know exactly what is wrong. The "BRAKE" light can indicate an imbalance in the front and rear braking pressures, which could be caused by air in the system. But with the lights coming on when you hit a bump, could also be a bad ground.

I meticulously checked all my grounds. I disconnected all of them, lightly scuffed all the contacts, and reconnected. They all looked good, but it definitely cleared my flashing lights. Dont know which one it was
