When I start my car the ABS light comes on and stays on. It first starting coming on after driving the car for a few minutes or it wouldn't come on at all. The brakes work fine except they squeak loudly when I first apply the brake during the first drive of the day(early morning)

Any suggestions

It sounds like the front bearing hub is going out which has the ABS wheel speed sensor in it but to be sure here are two videos to help you fix the problem.
