Default Abs light on

Last night as I was driving home I spun out at a stop sign on some Ice and my ABS light turned on. This morning when I left it was off so I figured maybe just because I spun out it came on. But now I just left for lunch and it was on again. I do not hear any growling noises or anything weird other than the abs not working. Any help would be great

Is the Brake Fluid level between MIN & Max?

sometime ago, my abs light came on, and the control unit was making a noise, sounded like a motor running. wound up had to replace the abs unit. 1200 bucks installed.
funny thing was, the brakes did not feel any different.

Check the brake fluid. If that's at the proper level, maybe try cleaning the speed sensor in the rear diff.

Brake Fluid should be replaced every 2-3 years. It's normal to hear noise when ABS is working.
