ABS Brake Light V70-XC70

I have a 98 V70 and the ABS light came on. Does anyone know or can tell me a resource on what to look for as possible causes? I flushed the brake fluid a few weeks ago and have not had any problems since then until this light came on.
Thanks in advance

ABS control module failure is fairly common. Search on
"abs module", below, to the right. You will find a lot of
posts including options for repair or replacement. If the
module is failing your brakes will continue to work -- you
just might not have ABS.

Ignition switch problems can also cause this. A good general
discussion on other possible causes is at:
