IF you turn the car off, then restart, and the light goes off, then it's your steering wheel position sensor. Common problem. When you park your car, make sure your steering wheel is straight. Light won't come on. Lots of us have that problem. BUT, like Jeremy said, check your wires too!
If the ABS light is on it means the ABS system has detected a fault.
If the light comes on when you start the car and stays on than it has detected a problem during its self check. This is typically a wiring or connector issue.
If the light come on when you start the vehicle and then goes out but comes back on when you start moving than there is likely a problem with a speed sensor.
The best route is to start with a scan tool to see what codes are present and/or to see what wheel speed sensor is not working.
It also wont hurt to check you r work to see if you disconnected a speed sensor or broke a wire while servicing the brakes.

SOURCE: abs and traction control light
have to ask is the relucter for the abs sensor on the axle or rotor
SOURCE: ABS Light Stays on new brakes put on
Could be dirty abs sensors attached to your brakes. I would clean them with brake parts or elecronical cleaner.
Other possibility is a faulty ABS system.
SOURCE: ABS & Brake warning lights turn on
it is possible but its also possible you have a wheel speed sensor acting up. you would have to have it scanned for codes

You actually have two separate problems. The brake pull to the right is indicating the left side brake is not working properly. You will want to remove the left front wheel, collapse the caliper piston and make sure the caliper is floating freely on its mounts.
With the piston collapsed you should be able to slide the caliper inboard and outboard of the rotor. If not, you will want to remove the attachment pins, clean and lubricate the pins. If they are grooved or worn you will have to replace them.
The second issue of the ABS light is indicating the system has detected an electrical sensing or control problem. Take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto and ask them to scan the vehicle for trouble codes. They will scan it for you at no charge.
Chances are you will find a wheel speed sensor problem at one of the wheels.
Write the codes down and respond back, we can start diagnosing the problem,
Good luck, let me know.
