The most common cause is not re-centering the steering wheel after lifting. (an alignment shop 'should' do this for you, but --> 5 minutes and a crescent wrench is all it takes) A less common cause could be a wheel sensor wire was damaged.

Thank you, where would the wheel sensor be located? And could I check to see if it was damaged?

Check the steering wheel first. If it is straight then might be the wheel sensor. There are a couple videos in YouTube on how to change them. One in each wheel. Small black wire running with your brake line. Trace it down to sensor on wheel. Only one bolt holding it in. With out a code reader that can read ABS system no way to check which one is bad. I had access to a reader and swapped my bad one out. Two weeks later light came back so I just replaced the remaining three. About $17 a sensor at parts store. Rear are easier than front. Front you have to take the wheels off. Rear can be reached easily with wheels on. 5mm Allen bolt holds them in. Be easy with the connections when unhooking them.

Can take as little as a few yards up to a couple miles for the code to clear whether it's the steering wheel or sensors.

Usually if it's the steering wheel more than just the light will come on. Usually the ESP will engage, cutting power and applying brakes. Most likely a wheel sensor.

The steering wheel is to the right I started driving after the lift and it started to apply brakes after a couple yards the light just stayed on it is being re aligned as we speak.
