Mine comes on every time the brake fluid gets low. I fill and it goes out.

Low fluid is supposed to turn on the abs light and the red brake light. Not just one of them.
I'd suggest getting the code flashed off and going from there so you aren't replacing unnecessary parts. It's pretty easy. There is a wire that you ground and the code flashes on the abs light. The wire is in different places on different trucks and the procedure is different on different years too so I' not sure about yours but you don't need a scanner for it. There are too many things that can turn on the abs light though to just start guessing at parts.
