Does it come on right when you start the car? or once you start rolling over 5mph or so? If it's the latter, you probably broke one of your abs sensors while working on it. You can test the sensor by unplugging it and measuring the resistance of it. The connectors for the front ones are located in the engine compartment, towards the rear. The passenger one is right in front of the abs unit attached to the side of the compartment. they should read between .8 and 1.2k ohms.

ah ****...I hope I didn't do the same thing. I guess I won't know until I have the motor back in and running. As long as the brakes will still work enough for me to drive, I don't mind replacing a sensor if they'll be easy to get to once the car's back together.

people tend to pull the wire out of the abs sensor in front when they are cranking on the front suspension trying to drop it far enough to slide the shock/spring combo out. Always take an extra minute and take the sensor out of the wheels in front.
I'll bet the wires pulled out.

the sensor is ~$135 new from malloy mazda. search for malloy if you want a number.
i did the same thing when I did my springs.
you can also try and get one used by posting in the parts wanted section. i got mine for $40 that way.
