    If the ABS light comes on sitting still, there must be an electronic fault from the start. Such as a shorted sensor or wiring...or perhaps an issue with the ABS control module itself.

    A diagnostic test will be required to inspect the system and determine what has failed.

    Testing is the only place to start. You have to know what is failing systematically to then determine what to do to continue testing.
