ABS light on?

My truck is a '94 F350 CC Dually 4x2. I don't drive much , only on weekends. The past two weekends the ABS has come on then off. Any ideas what would cause this? I know there is some kinda weight switch on the axle to apply more brake when there is more weight. As the trucks has no fuel in rear tank, no spare tire or any weight on the back. Could this be causing this?

The sensor in the differential might be bad or just dirty.

Most people don't know but the abs system computer stores codes, and they can be pulled. So you don't have to guess replacing stuff.
