Question Replaced ABS Module, ABS light still on, Code: c1288 - ABS Works

About a year ago my ABS module went kerput and I took it off and sent it to be repaired, the guy wasn't able to repair it so he refunded me and I never put another module back on the pump because I didn't think it would take this long to find an affordable one. Anywho, today I got a brand new OEM module in the mail and installed it. When I reprogramed it, the Brake light went off but the module is still sending an error code "C1288 Brake Pressure Transducer Input Circuit Failure"
I took it out for a drive and tested out the ABS and they are working exactly as they should. I didn't think it took long at all to stop going 60mph and I heard the pump firing. I'm wondering if it's just going to take some time to maybe work out any air bubbles? I read online that the code usually means the pump is bad but the fact that it's apparently working confuses me.

The ABS light is still illuminated but I can pass inspection in Texas with that on. I'd just like a clean dashboard more than anything.

Any help is appreciated!

It would help if you identified what you're working on....

The brake pressure transducer is integrated into the HCU. If you replaced only the top ABS module only, you probably missed replacing the part with the (potentially) faulty sensor.

Most ABS system faults *should* take the system offline but the service manual is not indicating which faults, if any, might be exceptions.
