94 Prizm, new front axels but abs lights at 65mph

Hi all,
Just had both axles replaced on my prizm, rides great. However now at speeds of 60-65 the abs light comes on (stays on untill restart) without fail. It will drive all day at speeds under 60-65 and the abs light will never come on.
Took it back to the shop, they say "everything looks right" without any resolution. It never had done this before the axle replacement.
Any ideas, opinions and suggestions would be great
Thanks,
Jax

Grossly unequal L/R tire pressures on an axle could cause enough of a wheel speed difference to cause a false ABS/Traction Control indication.

Different brand tires [of the same size] on the same axle could do the same.

Keep in mind, the above are not likely to get your repair shop any cash, so don't overlook them yourself, or expect them to suggest the obvious.

It's strange that the indication only occurs at speed if a wheel sensor was improperly connected due to the axle replacement, but it does happen. Think also about what else was changed. ABS wheel sensors constantly monitor wheel speed, so strange issues like yours usually involve things that may differ betwen wheels.
