hopefully rusty sensor rings, clean them up with a wire brush.

have you been running it much while it's been off the road? only my friend's honda had it's abs light come on and stay on for a fair few miles after being rolling roaded - presumably due to rears still and fronts spinning.

depending on year of the car there is also a relay for ABS in glove box that could have failed
