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.

jack up the front wheels see if they are loose could be wheel bearings wore out and metal on the sensors
