ABS indicator lit

Last week-end the key was left on, both bateries were dead. After I charged them, I started the truck, and the ABS light comes on. What problem does this indicate? Is it in fact a problem with the ABS system?

Ok, started it with the charger connected. Disconnected the charger and drove it a mile to Checker. As soon as I pulled out of the drvie the ABS light went out and stayed out. Battery analyzer indicated 12.6 volts and charging system at 13.1 output. Everything is fine.

If battery voltage is low the abs modules doesn't work correctly.
