That usually means it's broken....  ;-)

It helps if you say what kind of vehicle and it's mileage and age.
There are different things to look for on a newer vs older vehicles.

Basically the repair is done as follows:

Stuff all available space with twenty dollar bills and take it to the
dealer.  When the vehicle is returned the light and the bills will be
gone.

Seriously, ABS is not a problem that is fixable by someone w/o a bit of
training and/or experience, you really do need to see the dealer.

Year, model?

9 times out of ten it's a dirty ABS computer connector.

Remove it, clean it, replace it.
I use spray contact cleaner and remove the air filter to make a
little sink in which to work.
Plus put some dilectric grease on the connectors after your done.
