yes- the ecu reset by CLOCK FUSE removal method will clear any codes
but first make sure the installer didn't damage the wheel speed sensor in the process of wheel bearing job- it can happen easily, or just wear out from corrosion

ABS/VSA are tied to the ECU..
Just unplug the Clock Fuse as 01tl said its a 7.5A Fuse on the Passenger Side.
Even a loose ABS Sensor can throw a code! check if your mechanic lock up real tight the sensor!

BUT FIRST-before clearing the codes/lights= take it to the mechanic and let them ck their work=all work should be warrantied
Don't rush to buy a part based only on a code
and never reset the ecu/clear codes until you had them scanned/read
most parts stores do this for free, it takes 2 minutes and will tell of any stored codes (except certain srs and abs that need special reader) but a bad speed sensor will show up in the codes
I'm betting that's what it is, either loose or misaligned as skirm noted above,
or damaged wire (its really thin stuff) when parts are left dangling = instead of supported/tied up during bearing replacement

Most auto parts stores don't have an ECU capable of retrieving the ABS/VSA Codes in the ECU! It requires a high-end OBDII Reader which is capable of selecting between engine related codes and brake related codes (Our ECU Don't store brake related codes in the engine side codes)...
The OBDII Scanner most Autoparts store use is a very cheapo one which cant select the Brake Side Codes. I recommend that go to the suspension shop that did your Bearing! They should have a high-end Scanner for Brake Related problems.

Mr.Helpful Diagram
ABS does a self check at start up and will turn off the light on its own if everything is ok, at least from my experience.
Probably forgot to connect the orange 2 wire plug back together under the hood (happened to me a few times while working on mines)
Does the light come up while driving or as soon as you start it up ?
