ABS light and TCS after 9" install.

So I finally got everything put back together tonight and now have an ABS light on the cluster and my TCS light wont shut off either. Got the 4 channel axles from Moser with the rings already pressed on. What could I have messed up to make this happen?

This was right when i started the car up to run it on the jackstands for break-in. and the sensors are plugged in.

Those lights indicate that the computer recognizes a malfunction ( two rolling wheels and two still wheels). Mine did the same thing on a dyno. After I drove it a few minutes down the road it cleared up.

Yes it will do that on jackstands because two wheels are spinning and two are not. The system sees this as an error and will turn the lights on. Once you put it on the ground you should be all set.
