Question ABS/BAS/ESR/ and Airmatic Malfunction

PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a 2001 S-430 and i just changed the front disks and pads and now i have errors showing up for APS / BAS / ESR and a airmatic.

When car is first started and when braking for the first time on start the brakes grind like abs is trying to kick in even though it is not necessary for it to. After i pick up speed to about 20 or so the ABS light comes on and the grinding no longer happens... What the hell... i am so scared to take it to the shop... please advice what has happened... Thanks

Cool

All of those TRACTION systems are ONE! Any problem & all of the MIL lights will come on. Since the problem doesn't happen until the car is moving I would check the front wheel speed sensors. Possible dirt OR damage from the brake job.

The air-matic system needs info from traction to what speed the car is going.
