I would say u have been luck if u got away with that . The TESTER MUST cheak that all switches and warning lights that need to work him self . I if this is the case what else has he missed !! ! is ure car safe thats what i would be asking myself . maybe u do all ur own work but if u dont then how do u know ? it his job to pic up the little things as well as the big ones . I have ben testing for over 5 years and i do know how easy it is to miss things so u have to stay switched on as its not just a test it could be some ones life . (

more than likely a abs sensor fault the front sensor carriers are aluminum and expand crushing the sensor as they rust . best bet is to get it onto a code reader i would say will atleast point u in the right direction. ps if it is a sensor u need to remove the old witch is harded than it sounds then clean up the suface in the hub i found a wire brush on a drill or a fine stone to work best {carefully with stone } u need to do this to get the sensor to fit correctly if it does not sit flush the air gap will be incorect causing incorect readings and bring the light on again . hope this is a litt
