It is telling you that you have a problem. The anti-lock brake light is telling you that the anti-lock safety device is in the off position. There may be a blown fuse for that unit, or a switch to turn it back on, or it may need a mechanic. Look for a switch first. If the brake light is on all the time, you may have a cylinder leaking brake fluid. There is a switch that is thrown if the breaking system gets out of adjustment that way, that is if one side gets more break fluid than the other.

Why would the antilock brake light come on?

Antilock Brake Light comes on and stays on when the ABS computer detects some problem with the antilock brakesystem components. You will still have normal brake use, but the Antilock system will probably not work as an Antilock brake system is supposed to work. ABS system diagnostic code readers are available and are recommended for diagnostic purposes, however fixing ABS systems is perhaps best left up to the Pros. . .
