2008 Prius - ABS light on despite changing front wheel bearings

Welcome to PriusChat!!

Do you have any OBD2 codes (DTCs) that you can share with us here?

 

"Your local mechanic" probably screwed up the ABS sensors when working on the wheels.

 

As soon as you have the trouble codes to post, we will probably know. Often they will point to something easy and quick to fix.

If you don't have a code reader, the codes can also be blinked out on the dash lights, no special reader required. Both methods are well covered in lots of posts you can find here.

 

Details are important. That is NOT what you first said.

Telling the whole story is important.

I doubt that this is something you will be able to fix yourself.

 

With the vehicle ready, plug the OBD2 reader in the OBD2 port under the steering wheel/dash area, it might offer some codes (DTCs) or it might be useless for this application. Most likely you'll have to navigate the reader UI to make it retrieve the codes. Please post results here.

For troubleshooting and diagnosing, many prefer using a 'mini-vci' cable and a copy of techstream (dealer level tech software), or for a less technical option you can try an OBD2 bluetooth/wifi adapter and an App like Dr. Prius, use this link to learn more about quality adapters, and which products you wouldn't want to purchase : Hybrid battery diagnostic and repair tool for Toyota and Lexus

Would be hard to say "why this is happening", or what you can do to "get rid of it" by only knowing which warning lights were displayed on the dash, once you know and share the DTCs (codes) we can offer guidance which may potentially help you in resolving the issue(s).
