Is It just the ABS light or the Hill decent and Traction control warning lights too?

Blanking out the warning light was bad and safety issue.

Jack up the rear and spin each wheel in turn and compare the resistance, better still take the wheels off and have a look at the calipers and pads look for any burning/overheating
Other than that it's a trip to the computer for a check on the abs sensors.
