You might want to visually inspect all of the ABS sensors at each wheel, if
you have a service manual it should tell you exactly where they are, if not
you can usually find it by taking the wheel off and looking around in there
just look for a little sensor with a wire running off of it, perhaps one is
loose or broken or not connected properly.
