Default ABS Light!

Just yesterday my Anti-Lock Brake warning light came on. Im not sure what the problem is, however today I noticed a little vibration in the wheel while turning at a low speed. If anyone has any suggestions on what the problem might be, that would be great.
Thanks!

You might want to check the condition of your brake pads. Even though its an anti-lock brake light, your brake may have excessive wear and need to be replaced. My abs light came on and I just ignored it. Three months later, I had new brakes put on and the light went off. You may want to just checkthe abs lines that run to the sensor in your wheel assembly. It could be something just as simple as a crack or hole in your line.

Could also be that corrosion is not letting the ABS sensor recieve a signal so it pops a light...There is a bulletin that suggests to remove the sensor and clean the pad it rests on from excess corrosion and reinstall to see if works... if that is it then you are done. If not then the sensor could be bad or the wire/connections are bad check the wire from the body connections all the way to the sensor and look for frayed/cracked insulation etc. This sensor is easy to replace and can be purchased alone....
