Checking to see what code it threw seems logical to me.

Drive above 20mph for a few minutes, turn the car off, ground the 4th row from the top, far left pin on the Consult port, turn the key to ignition. It'll flash out the codes.

It's rather spelled out in the Haynes manual...

Start by checking the codes like said above. It could mean one of your ABS sensors on one of the wheel hubs may be going bad or is not securely plugged in. On my 240sx, the ABS light came on when one of sensors became unplugged. I had to check the codes to figure out which sensor was causing the problem.
