Abs light turned on
Should I be worried if my abs light turned on? I have an 04 f150 5.4 XLT with 198xxx kms on it. Does it automatically turn on after a set amount of time or only if there is a problem?

Doesn't automatically turn on....you have a problem.
It could be as simple as brake dust built up on one of the 4 wheel speed sensors, or something more severe. Brakes are not to be ignored, so I'd at the very least remove one tire at a time and check each wheel sensor. Clean them off with brake cleaner and see if the fault clears. If not, have it checked out.
