Bled Brakes to Change Fluid - now ABS light is on

This afternoon I started bleeding the brakes to change the brake fluid. After bleeding one wheel for a while, I had to stop the job to make a quick trip. As soon as I started the engine the ABS light was on and and emergency brake light. The emergency brake light eventually went off. However, the ABS light will not go off.. I will continue bleeding the brakes tomorrow but I wonder if some air entered the ABS modulator somehow.

I'm not familiar with the type of ABS unit on the 95 2wd Flareside 5-MT 4.9 L engine.

Final Update -

I let the truck set for about an hour -- then drove it again and the ABS light was off.. So everything returned to normal after a drive and letting it set a while..

Good deal man, I was going to say I've had some ABS bleeds that took forever to bleed. Keep in mind you might have a bad wheel cylinder in the rear where I believe ABS is only on the rear brakes.
