Depends on whats making it go on. Mine is on almost all the time too but I know what's causing it. Wires going to the front right got chafed somehow. I dont know who or what, but someone got rough with it. When its dead dry the light is off but any moisture screws up the signal. But its a few hundred bucks to fix and the brakes work. You have a comparable sensor in the rear, IIRC, on or next to the pumpkin. Each front tire has its own.

There will be some codes stored if you can get them read we can pinpoint the repair. Twelve is dead on the wheel sensors they are common culprits. A cleaning of the rear one helps sometimes.

I almost forgot the electrical tape fix.
If you put it over the idiot light, it doesn't bug ya anymore. I joke with people that my engine developed a funny sound and it took $2500 for a stereo loud enough to drown it out. Sorry. Thats the extent of my humor capacity on a Sunday.
