 What model and what year is the truck? You'll need a scan tool to check any codes. Are they Wabco or Bendix brakes? Air brakes? Hydraulic brakes? May need to check the VSS Sensor on top of the rear differential, be sure it's plug in, check adjustment, etc. If it's air brakes, it may be oil on a wheel censor or one may be out of adjustment. Loose wheel bearing will make the light come on. Tire pressure correct all the way around? Driven in any standing water lately??? Are your backing plates still in place? Water splashing on the shoes making the shoes swell. This will throw the ABS for a loop until theres enough heat to evaporate the water. Is the truck under warranty, if so see your local Dealer.

WELCOME TO THE ABS NIGHTMARE! I have never decided wether they are worth it or not, doesnt matter we have no choice, but they are a PITA.

Check your brake fluid reservoir cap.  If is miss seated it will throw the ABS light on.

Mine came on back in June 05 when I went down a steep winding mountain pass in CO with no trailer brakes on the LQ . After the brakes cooled down the Freightliner place just did a reset and everything has been fine since.
