ABS light

I'm out on the hiway today towing to the lake. Abs light came on about half way there. First time this has happened. No codes.
What could it be? Will it hurt to keep driving?

Mine is on too. It's because of an internal sensor in my wheel assembly. There's also a sensor that can be removed from the assembly, and Ive also had chafed wires going to the assembly that will trigger it. Check both front tires. Could be more but those are ones I know about.

Could be a bad sensor, or a bad unit bearing assemblie. I drove mine for a while with no issues. As long as you don't hear grinding you should be good to go.
