Ah, mine does that once in a while. The wheel speed sensors tend to be sensitive to moisture. My ABS light goes nuts for a day or so after I go nail snow drifts for fun. I usually just drive it for a few days and once the sensor dries out, the light goes off. You can also see if any codes have been tripped by cycling your ignition key on and off 3 times with the engine off, stopping the cycles with the key in the ON position. Then watch the odometer, have a pen handy and write down all the codes that flash by.

ABS light only indicates that the abs wont work, base brake function will be fine, I work for the company that made it, PM me if you have any specific questions.

Ok if you dont want to just live with it, the two main problems are easily fixed. It is going to be EITHER the wheel speed sensor, or the lead that runs to the wheel speed sensor. The best way to test the wheel speed sensor, is to unplug it and ohm out the two terminals that are in the connector. Most of the time the little windings that are in the head of the sensor burn through from high temps in the fluid and just the current running through it. If you get an O.L. or open link on your meter your sensor is bad, just replace it i think they are like 30 bucks or something. If there is resistance in the sensor then most likely the lead is bad and you need to give the wires a little tug to check for any breaks or corrosion. The lead is a dealer item only I believe but it is also pretty cheap like 50 bucks or something. Try that and post back with how it goes.

My abs light stayed on for months , then I decided to quit buying pucks and other mos and fix the real problems . ( priority issues ). The old sensor was so brille that removing it was like pulling a rotten tooth.Took me an hour to dig all the little pieces out. Jack your truck up and have somebody turn the wheels wjile you check the star wheel for damage. Make sure you clean out the hole really good or you could damage the new oring when you put it back in.Its a 15 min job if your third member isnt rusty and dirty.

Some truck have ABS sensors on the front hubs also. If you have wires coming from the front hubs then so do you. I think everyone has the one on the rear pumkin.

Yeah, think that some trucks had a 3 channel abs similar to the third gen trucks. The sensors in the front hub are a different model, much less prone to crapping out at the worst time.
