Default Brakes vibrate then ABS light comes on

I recently replaced my front brake calipers on my 2013 JKU Rubicon. It is not lifted - just has Tera-Flex leveling kit.
After I installed the brakes I noticed that when I applied the brakes they would vibrate like the ABS was being applied. But only when I first apply the brakes. After doing this a few times (3-6) the ABS and Stability control light comes on.
I have checked the ABS sensor and they appear to be attached. The rotors looked fine (drivers side might need to be replaced soon) but no big gouges or scratches.

I am going to bleed the brakes again today/tomorrow and see if that helps. Any ideas?

You might need to have someone's bleed the abs module. Sometimes ir will het in it and it has to cycled through a programmer. Ive changed a few brake lines and calipers and always gotten lucky and never needed to have it done. Some of my buddies have had to had theirs cycled.
