Were you wheel spinning about per chance? If you ever take your car on a rolling road, that light comes on straight away, as it notices that the front wheels are moving bu the backs aren't. Or basically out of sync really. It normally goes off shortly after. How is it now?

u cud take outur abs sensor and clean them all, then take it down a private road get a lil speed up 30-40 then slamthe brakes on to activate the ABS and sumtimes it can reset the light if is a bloked upsensor
