Rear ABS light

I have a 92 f150 and my rear ABS light comes on. when turn off the pickup it will stay off for a while but it comes on again.
Would this be a sencer problem? If so how do you test them to find out which one is bad?
thanks for the help.

A few simple things to check are, make sure the brake fluid level is good, make sure the electrical connections at the master cylinder are clean and tight and make sure that both rear brake lights are working correctly.
There is a diagnostic connector, probably behind the glovebox and probably a black wire with an orange stripe. If, with the ABS light on, you momentarily ground this wire the ABS light should blink out any error codes. You could try this if all the first checks are good.
