There are dozens of failures that can turn the light on and disable the abs. You need to have the codes checked to know possible causes.

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. . .

Why does your anti-lock brakes light come on?
How ABS works ABS systems use a combination of electronic and hydraulic systems to modulate the brakes individually to prevent them from locking. Antilock systems basically consist of wheelspeed sensors, a hydraulic control unit (HCU), and an electronic control unit (ECU). During braking the wheelspeed sensors measure the rotational speed of the wheels and forward this information to the ECU. If the ECU determines that one wheel is decelerating at a much greater rate than another (indicating that the brake is about to lock), the ECU directs solenoid valves in the HCU to open to release hydraulic pressure to the brake until the rotational speed of the errant wheel matches the others. Because of the complexity of the system, when the engine is started, a self-test sequence occurs. If the check is successful, the ANTILOCK and BRAKE lights will extinguish. If some component fails to check out, one or both lights will remain lit. One or both warning lights may also come on while driving, also indicating a problem. If just the ANTILOCK warning light comes on, some ABS component has failed, but the car still has power-assisted brakes. If both the ANTILOCK and BRAKE lights come on, the car is without power-assisted brakes, which is very dangerous. If just the BRAKE warning light comes on, this may be caused by low brake fluid or worn brake pads.
What does the anti-lock light on a 1999 Chevy lumina mean?
NORMALY ON ANY CAR WHEN A DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON MEANS THE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING OR HAS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED. IN THE CASE OF ANTI-LOCK YOUR BRAKES MIGHT ONLY WORK WITHOUT THE ANTILOCK UNTILL CHECKED WHICH MEANS IT WILL TAKE YOU LONGER TO STOP AND YOU CAN LOCK UP YOUR BRAKES.

What is the proper way to use antilock brakes in an emergency situation?
Push down on the brake pedal and hold it there, do not pump.Apply the brakes in an even manner until the braking system starts to pulse and vibrates the brake peddle. This is how anti lock brakes tell you you are getting the most available braking from them.Keep enough pressure or force on the peddle until the vehicle comes to a stop.
My 1989 dodge Dakota 6 cylinder headlights just stopped working and the antilock light comes on when I depress the brakes?
These are 2 totally different problems with no relation to each other. The headlights not working can be a blown fuse, blown headlight bulb, or loose or corroded wiring. The ABS light comes on because there is a problem with the ABS. Check the fluid level, and if it is fine, this problem should be repaired by a professional.
