Default Best way to diagnose ABS light

When I bought my 93 gc the abs light was on and now that it's snowing I want to get it fixed but not sure where to even start!

The ABS is tested by using a scan tool that plugs into a 6 wire plug that is tucked under the carpet under the ashtray, it requires a Chrysler #2 plug if you're using a Snap-On scan tool.

I'm not sure, I've never used Autozone for anything.

until then, try to inspect the wires at the sensors for each wheel.
it is also possible a tone ring may be damaged.
