The ABS system turns on the light when it sees a fault in one of its sensors or output components. In order to properly diagnose the system, you will need to have the ABS system scanned to see if there is a code to one of the wheel sensors. If you would like to have this checked, a technician from YourMechanic can come to your car’s to inspect the brake system and diagnose the ABS Light.
