The most likely cause is the ABS/TRACS controller has failed. This is a common problem. Whereas you've just had the brakes worked on, however, you have to determine first whether the ABS system has been disturbed - sensors, wiring, etc. - in the course of the brake work. (TRACS uses the ABS system to retard front wheel spin in loss-of-traction conditions.)
What usually fails is the solder in the pc board under the ABS block in the engine compartment; a shop repair runs $350 and up. In a recent post to the brickboard, a correspondent indicated he was able to make the repair himself. (How hard can it be? Use a de-soldering tool to remove old solder, then flow the new stuff in.)
