The light stays on until the car is turned off. When restarted the light is off and may or may not come back on. All it takes is barely touching the brake pedal to cause it to come on. The brakes work fine so I'm thinking some sensor or relay?

    Yes the ABS system needs to be inspected by a qualified shop and see if there are any codes for problems.

    the light indicates there is a problem with the ABS. Your conventional brake system will still work. But do, check your master cylinder to make sure you are not low of brake fluid. If you notice anything out of the ordinary with the normal brake system stop driving and have it repaired. Know that your ABS may or may not function in an emergency.
