Unfortunately I think.it can be caused by allot of th I hs I think I need to change out my wheel hubs. A radiator bracket broke and it may have damaged some wiring as I speed up it would set of off it's better now but not gone. Agreed very annoying. I like to have abs lol

You can unplug your steering positioning sensor to bypass the system. Abs will work and traction control but it disables the AHS so it won't lock up your brakes at speed

The ABS will not report via ODB II ENGINE code scanners, you need a special scanner to read ABS codes, same with Air Bag issues.

Did you disturb any other components or electrical connectors while installing the line lock?
Does it pop up as soon as you start the car or as soon as you start moving?

Yes a tech 2 will show the code but there are other scanners that will as well. It just needs to be able to read ABS codes.
You haven't taken the steering shaft loose or wiggled any wires near the steering wheel position sensor?(under dash in-line with the steering column?

A damaged wheel bearing could also cause this(smashes the wheel speed sensor inside it).

I spun my steering shaft accidentally one time while it was off and it caused AH/TC warnings because the steering wheel position sensor was seeing the wrong readings.
