Default ABS and brake light flashing after changing pads and rotors

Does anyone have an idea why my ABS and brake light are flashing even after when I've changed the rotors and brake pads. Used mintex pads with sensor connections.

Default My guess...

... is you knocked one or both of the ABS rotation sensors/wires when you replaced your pads. It's not your wear sensors as that would only light the brake light on solid (not ABS and not flashing).

Default Pads have nothing to do with ABS electronics.

Perhaps you have knocked the wheel speed sensor out of postion. Too far in or too far out will trigger an ABS malfuntion.

Do you have the schematic diagram of the correct positioning
