If one of your tires is really worn down compared to the rest, ABS can sense this as difference in tire rotation rate, and cause a fault?

Can be alot of things. You need to have it scanned to see what codes are stored.

if your abs light is on then you have a hole in your vaccume hose for your breaks. happened to our 2005 truck you can drive with it but your tires will lock up when you hit the breaks hard instead of what the abs is ment to do pallsate the break pettle or w/e

YOU HAVEN'T A CLUE OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!
The abs is controlled electronically, hydraulically not by vaccuum. Try some research. The only thing operated by vacuum is the brake booster. It will not trigger the light.
