ABS Problem

My ABS light recently came on while driving about 35 mph down the road. It has stayed on for about 2 weeks. I haven't really noticed any braking problems until the other day. When I started the truck the ABS light did not come on as it normally has for the 2 weeks. As the light was out I slowed down approaching a stop sign. The ABS engaged as the truck came to a complete stop. This happened during a non slippery situation. As I pulled away the ABS light came back on and it did not have the same symptom as I came to further stops. The problem only has occured a couple times when the ABS light is off. Any thoughts? I haven't checked for a code yet.

Speed sensor is problably loosing signal. Get the abs module scanned for codes. Could be rust under the front sensors causing excessive air gap between sensor and tone ring, or a bad rear diff sensor.
