Exactly that, I had this problem when my front ABS wires were rubbing on my control arm and they would short out when they touched the metal (rubbed off the wire insulation)... Once the car was turned off and back on, the light was gone.

Also check to make sure they are not being pulled out of the fittings, you can also have the code read and that will tell you what wheel the problem is coming from.

Take off each wheel and look you'll find a ring with teeth on it (looks like a big gear). Carefully clean it off along with the sensor itself.

Check this link out, should give a general idea

Also, check your brake fluid level
