Bleeding the brakes or the abs?

i drop my motor from the bottom so i disconnected the 2 lines from the abs box to drop the motor. i bleed all 4 brakes but the brake light is still on should i bleed them again or should i bleed the 2 fitting on the abs?

Sometimes it takes a firm push of the brake pedal to make the light go out (equalize the pressure). The light comes on when the system sees a different pressure between the front and rear brakes.

I believe i just followed the bleeding instructions in my haynes manual. Meaning i did the ABS first then the individual calipers. This was after my motor removal.
