Default 2002 abs light

So I was working on my 2002 4wd blazer and I had it up on jacks to listen for a growl then abs light came on.
I am assuming due to had it in 4wd and the computer saw differances in wheel movements. Anyone concur?
will it go off on its own? Or do i need a code reader to turn off?
Thank you
John

You are correct that different wheel speeds will trip ABS light. It'll go away. Shouldn't be working on anything built after 1/1/96 w/o a scanner. A simple code reader is useless. Get Car Gauge Pro for your phone and a bluetooth ELM 327 transmitter that plugs into the OBD2 port. If you don't have a smart phone download Bluestacks for your laptop.
Or buy a scanner that can at least clear codes and read ABS, trans, and SRS.

Thanks,
oldeerslayer,
I figured that's what is was. I have an obdll reader but haven't gotten an abs reader yet, guess that's next on the list of took toys.
