Sometimes when driving, after about anywhere from 15-60 minutes, the ABS light will go on. Sometimes it stays on, sometimes it's on for just a couple minutes. But, it is never on when I start it back up.

The light going on means that the ABS module has sensed a malfunction in the system somewhere and stored a trouble code to identify what it saw. You need to have the codes retrieved from the ABS module.
