The most common problem is the wheel bearing or the wiring harness has broken, a visual examination will find the broken wire, but a scan must be done to locate which bearing is At Fault.

The ABS module does a self check everytime the ignition is turned on. During the self check mode the ABS module has detected a problem with the ABS and the ABS light will illuminate until the problem is fixed. As long as the ABS light is on the ABS function is disabled. As already mentioned a scan must be done to help locate and repair the problem.
