Abs bas esp

So I have a 02 clk320 396k miles. The other day I replaced the front brakes. No problem disc brakes are easy. Well afterward the abs esp and bas lights come on 3 to 4 mins after you start driving no matter the speed. Last night I was driving home and the car slowed down as those lights came on and the car sped up to normal except when it speeds up it has high rpms around the 4k. Can anyone suggest what may cause this?

It happened to me too. Don't waste time on diagnostics but it will show the brake light switch is may or may not be working. Replace it. Fixed my issue.

The turning of wheel usually is done after battery is changed and you've lost the limits..it would have come on as soon as her turned on the car if it was the limits....his symptoms sound like the switch...has been discussed sooo many times on this forum.
