Clean your ABS sensor at all four corners or get new units. This requires some work, removing tires to gain access to the sensor and or removal. I would recommend Electrical cleaner from your local hardware store or parts shop but brake cleaner will work fine.

yup, same thing happend to me, just clean those sensors, and if that doesnt work, get some new units...

if the abs light comes on you can scan the code and find out what wheel is doing it, that might save you some time/money
