There is a procedure for extracting a code from the abs computer by shorting 2 wires together. As a general rule, abs faults are usually a faulty sensor at one of the wheels.

If it all started soon after changing the alternator, I'd try another one. Drop down to your local auto sparkie and get him to check your charge rate and battery condition.
