Default ABS Light

I cant figure out why my ABS light keeps lighting up. For the past 5 days it will be on when i start the car or a few minutes after im driving down the road. but it does go off 5 to 10 mins after. What would be causing this to happen?

You have a short... Check the passenger side cable back to the rear wheel. That seems to be the normal place for wear with over sized tires.

check your abs sensors as well could just have one of those bad? what holds it in is a star headed screw that screws in through a rubber bushing into the back side of the rotor.

I would check fuses and sensors since fluid is fine. However, when the lights comes on and you are driving to stabbing the brakes maket he light go away temporarily?
