Take it to the dealer and have them run a computer diagnostic on it.
It may be nothing more than a short in the wire. Or you may have something wrong with your ABS system. They put the warning light there for a reason, after all!

Sadly with ABS you will probably need it professionally diagnosed to locate the reason why the light is on. It is possible that your brakes still work fine but the anti lock may not work. As examples of issues - you could have a faulty wheel sensor, faulty ABS unit, worn brake pads, broken wire or dirt. Cost may be minimal or very expensive. Even if the brakes still work you may have insurance issues.

I wouldn't run out buying wheel speed sensors.
The ABS light is just like your Check Engine Light and can mean any host of things. It must be read for a code and tested to determine where the fault lies.
One thing you do know is that ABS is no longer functional. It won't impact the ability of your brakes to work, just no anti-locking feature and you must modulate the brake pedal during emergency stops.

Most of the ABS lights are because of a faulty sensor on your brakes. It is really easy to fix and not very expensive. Usually around 50bucks. Take it to a trusted brake specialists and get the work done. It will not affect your braking though and is not unsafe. If you are annoyed about the light and refuse to get it fixed just throw some black electrical tape over it. LOL JK get it looked at.
