take out the bulb. hehehehe i kill me

First id check and make sure its full of fluid. short of that my GUESS would be a bad sensor. What year is the car? if it is obd2 you might be able to check out the abs system with a scanner (like a snap-on one) any shop would have one.

How does the car behave under braking?

might be the sensor
sometimes they tend to get stuff in them and make the abs inop light come on
i washed my car and it went away and hasn't come back since
i'm still going to scan it and see just to be safe though

If you haven't checked your tail/brake lights, that may be your problem. I had the abs inop light come on and it turned out it was just that the bulbs in the spoiler brakelight were burned out. It takes 2 bulbs, but as soon as I replaced them, no more ABS inop light.
