Default My ABS inop. light came on urgent!

Hello all,
While I was doing a few burnouts in our local Wallmart carpark, i have notice my ABS inop. light has come on.
I was holding brakes, and giving gas so to get the rubber burning.

My car is gioing for test on Tuesday, now I must get this ABS inop. light to go off.

I have A 2002 T/A WS6 Auto.
Don't have traction control

Hope you can help.
Thanks to all

Check the sensors on the rear. If they're dirty or screwed up, the light will come on.

Doing the burnout did it, the car noticed a difference in rotational speed between the front (stopped) and the rear (spinning like mad) it thinks the abs has failed, don't worry about it, it'll go out by its self in a day or 2
BTW a lack of abs shouldn't be a reason for test failure (lots of cars don't even have it)

Thanks guy's.
I thought I really screwed things up,
I will take her for a gentle stroll tomorrow, for half hour or so.
Will it go out while I am driving, or when I next come to start up?
thanks again

Mine is almost always on. But mine is caused by running 26inch front tires and 28inch rears. Mine turns on while I am going 50+mph. But after I turn the car off and start it back up, it is gone. Until I get higher in speed that is.

Same thing happened to me the first time I had my car dynoed. I pulled it out of the shop and was like WTF. Yep I felt like a NOOB! LOL
