Hello,

The ABS light can come on for a number of reasons.
It could be due to a bad sensor in one of the wheels. Issues with the wiring or a loose connection somewhere. It can also be due to the ABS module.

To figure out what might be the issue, you will have to scan the vehicle and retrieve the ABS Code(s).
Here is a helpful video that shows how to retrieve the ABS codes:

The ABS module is located under the hood and there is one ABS/wheel speed sensor on each wheel.

I have attached diagrams for all those components and replacement procedures below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
