ABS light coming on at 60mph

hello every one have had problems with abs on my evo 8 and am starting to get a bit mithed with it to say the least, the light was coming on once driving down the road and took it to mitsy and plugged it in , we changed one senser ourselves and found it still done it then we replaced the drive shaft as we found it had a tooth missing
now once you drive over 60 mph and brake the peddle polses back and the car is all over the place , ive changed the brake fluid and have used 5.1 dot could this be the cause, i have bled it a number of times thinking it might be air i would take it back to mitsy and plug it in again but the light doesn't always come on but the peddle is always the same over 60. this is now a new problem and any help or pointers in some direction would be welcomed with open arms!

Thanks

If the pedal and ABS function under 60 is fine, then your fluid and air in the system are ruled out. Chances are that there is still a sensor issue with the ABS and for some reason it is only manifesting itself at speeds over 60.

If it only happens over 60 I defeinately think its still a sensor issue.

Could be also you are low on brake fluid, or you need to bleed your lines again.

Test all the sensors with a multimeter, replace all of them if necessary. Also test central ABS module. Make sure that you bleed ALL lines before you start to assume anything.
