Use the search function. It's probably a sensor. Go pull the code at the local dealer.

Well you have already done the reset by turning the car off and then back on, you could check all ABS sensor for dirt and dust, try some electronic spray cleaner, or even a can of compressed air to blow off any dirt or grim that could be causing the sensor to go off.

I had the same problem recently. My rear driver side sensor was getting to much voltage so i had to replace it.
