    Just changed left rear caliper.
    Now I have abs and brake light on.

    Welcome to the forum, Mark.

    Have you ensured that the brake fluid level is at the correct level/brakes bled properly.

    Did you have any issues with the rear ABS sensor while replacing the caliper?

    I would double check anything in and around that area since the light just came on after working in that area.

    Please provide updates if you locate the issue.

    Welcome! What steps did you take to change it? That will help identify if there was an error on your part. Also, how are the brakes working currently?

    Yup, double check fluid level and the ABS sensor. BTW, welcome
