There is a possibility while replacing the brake pads you had damaged the wheel sensors. If you had started the vehicle with wheel off the ground and spinning, the ABS light can be turned on.

A scan tool would be the best equipement to retrieve the trouble code and understand which wheel sensor is causing the problem.
