ABS acting up

Alright, my rear ABS light is always on in my truck, so I'm just assuming that the rear abs stopped working a long time ago, which is fine with me. But lately when I press the brakes (even lightly, on dry pavement) I can feel the abs come on. Is there anything to check on this? Is there a way to disconnect the abs all together? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

You can disconnect it by pulling the fuse, or pulling the connector off the valve in the L frame rail under the brake booster and the light in the dash. If you want to fix it, pull the codes - Haynes tells how.
