i'll have it scanned tonight. but one thing i noticed is the negative battery terminal doesn't connect snug on the negative of the battery. even when fully tightened. i have heard of bad grounds causing the abs light to come on is this a possible cause?

Fix it and find out. Once you disconnect the battery you will have to wait for the light to come back on to read codes though.
