May be a wheel speed sensor on one of the wheels (that's how ABS tells what wheel is in a skid). Also may be a faulty ABS pump. Standard ODBII scanners will not tell you the issue. You have to have a code reader that specifies ABS codes. A bit pricey as an initial investment, but if you plan to keep the truck for while, it's cheaper than taking it to a shop to have the codes read every time there's an issue.

SOURCE: abs light stays on

I had this exact same problem, on a older bronco II. You need to get the ABS computer reset. You can either take it in or buy a computer your self. There are even packages that will allow you to use your own computer and just hook the car up to your lap top or desk top if you can get a cable long enough.

I never had mine done, because back then the computers were so expensive. I never caused a problem because it was only in the braking system. Now they are pretty cheap and there are a lot of other cool things you can do with them. You can reduce your gas requirements and set it for pulling, racing, and fuel efficency on the fly now. Just at the touch of a button.

SOURCE: ABS light on after replacing the front and rear brake pads .

u will need to check the wheel speed sensors behind the brake rotors to see if they got damaged or disconnected during the brake job, as long as the ABS light is on the Anti-lock brake system is disabled, regular braking without the need of ABS will feel fine.

SOURCE: 2001 dodge ram 2500 abs light stays on and soo doe

I had the same problem and it turned out to be one of the front speed sensors and the rear speed sensor as well. If you get a chance to look at all the speed sensors make sure the wires on the front aren't burnt from hot brakes. I have an 01 3500 4X4 and it was a pain to change the front sensor but the rear sensor took about 5-10 minutes, it's located in the middle of of the rear axle right on top. I bought both of mine on Ebay and cut the price in half.

check the sensors and connections may have loosened or knocked one loose if they look ok than have truck scanned most auto stores such as auto zone/advanced auto scan for free the trouble code will narrow the problem

ABS and brake lights come on and off on my 2004 dodge 25004x4 pickup

Sometimes this can happen when your break fluid is low, so I would double check that first, but usually if the ABS and Brake warning or flashing, or staying on, you are in need of break service on your vehicle. It may only need new brake pads, but you should get it checked as soon as you can.

In the meantime, try to stay mindful to give yourself extra distance for stoping.

I hope this helps.

ABS and brake light on

When the abs light appears,the brakes reset to regular brakes,with out the anti lock,If for sure the brake liners are good,and the rotors,then it is a bad sensor on one of the wheels,a scanner has to be hooked up to find the correct sensor,on witch wheel is the problem.

ABS light will not go off even after replacing all pads and rotors

the abs sensors are on the hub not the pads and rotors.sometimes brake dust builds up really heavy or on the magnet ring and it can not generate a pulse. there is also an ABS pump that may be bad ,and it is very expensive,over 1000 dollars.have the sensors tested first.the wheel needs to be turned and the sensor output tested with an oscilloscope or scanner.
