go to autozone and tell them to read the code for you. Probably a wheel speed sensor.

You have to make atleast an attempt to give us some info before we can help... That's like saying "check engine light on" and all you give is "99xj" lol

Have you had your brakes replaced recently? How long has the light been on? Do your brakes need to be changed?? Etc

does the pedal feel fine?
could be a broken sensor wire, bad sensor, chipped/broken tone ring...

did you check the fuse? Does the abs light go off when you first start the car and once you start moving it comes on, or does the abs light stay on when you first start the car. If it stays on constantly it sounds like it's the abs motor. best bet is to get the codes read though.
