Default ABS light on?

My ABS light turned on all the sudden. No hard breaking, not towing a trailer nothing, just got in my truck the next week and it was on. Any ideas? when i turn the key on but dont start her and push the breaks all the way to the floor it turns off but about 1-2 seconds after i let off the breaks it turns back on

on the front axle, there is a sensor on the hubs. check those. it might have came un plugged.

well if they seem tight then it's fine. one is a brake line, vacum line, and a wire for the ABS. under the dash. check the brake switch on the brake pedal. or the plugs on the master cylinder.

The ABS light will throw a code. Go have the code checked and it will tell you what the problem is. Last time mine came on, it was the ABS sensor on the rear axle went bad.
