Chances are that if the wire was cut, something probably hit it hard enough, to not only cut the wires, but probably damage the sensor in the process. They are kind of brittle when it comes to brute force.

Another possibility is the low brake fluid sensor shorted telling the ECM the fluid is low when it isn't, or the fluid is actually low.

Some ABS modules require a reset after new sensors are replaced and quite possibly may also be the culprit.
