check the sensors behind the brake rotors, sometimes they get cloged up with brake dust and fine metal as they are magnetic sensors...

I also have the same issue, I have changed the brake fluid, fitted new front rotors and saw fine metal on the sensors and cleaned it off. Still the abs light will not clear on most times of starting the ignition and if the car starts with out the light on then the brake pressure screws around and the pedal goes hard unit the light comes on then the pedal will have movement.

Was it on before you changed the rotors?

Have you tried to do a fault code scan to see what the fault code is? Might be a better idea than guessing.

Before and after changing the front rotors.

Run a codes scan, but maybe the front sensors are buggered?
