ABS issues

I'm sorry to start a new thread as this has been beat to death but I searched and searched and couldn't find anything mimicking my issue. The usual all three lights were on and I got the codes being both front wheel sensors. I replaced both of them. Now, when I start the car the three lights are on. When I start moving they go off but only until I drive another few hundred feet or if I hit the brakes. If I hit the brakes then the ABS kicks in like I'm sliding and I'm not. This is holding me back from getting inspected and my stickers expired last month! Any ideas?

There is the teethed tone ring that is a part of the hub. It can be the problem too.

What type of sensors did you buy? Reason being that a guy bought a sensor still had the problem to only figure out the new sensor was also bad.

Just because something is in a new package does not mean the thing is not junk in today's world of low cost parts.
