Good morning,

The ABS light will not cause a no-start condition. That is a separate issue.

Does the engine crank over? If it does not, check the battery voltage. I attached some guides for you to follow to test the battery.

Beyond that, you would need to test for fuel pressure and spark.

Below are guides for you to follow.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
