could be a wheel sensor on one of the front hubs that is comming apart and metal get stuck on the mag pick up. how many miles are on your car. had this happen on my LT1 back in the day. this is prob what it is if it comes and goes.

From: here there every mutha___ where.....
there is a body harness on the left side of the car before the rearend. If you get under your car on the left before the rearend you will see it. I believe it is the right plug if I remember right. The wires for my abs came loose in the plastic housing and caused this problem. The reason for this is from my car being strapped on the dyno a couple of times and the harness getting hit in the process of strapping the car down. This might not be it but you can check it..
Theres also a brake control module on the ABS block that will send the lights on as well if its bad...Scan the car with a TECH 2 to see what it is doing and throwing.
Mine did that for the first time last weekend at an autox. I was being especially hard on the tires and sliding my car around several of the corner and hit a bumpsideways a little bit and it jarred the car and all those lights came on (low trac obviously, abs innop, and the parking brake lights). I parked the car and killed it let it sit a few seconds and started it back up and all was cool. I was actually worried i broke something! Not really sure why it did it but it had something to do with a sharp jarring of the car...

that is true anything more than about 3/4's of an inch difference in tire circumference will cause the abs to show inop above 50 mph .. greater difference, lower speed ..
abs inop will also come on if there is a drastic difference in wheel speed, like a dyno, emisisons, dirt tracking through a corner .. if none of these fit your driving ... then check your sensors and connections as everyone else has mentioned ..
