might be easier if you do this when the roads are wet.

In normal situations, the ABS light should come on briefly to show you that the bulb is working, and then it should turn off. An ABS light that's on all the time means you have problems in the ABS system, and therefore the ABS control unit shut down the system. The entire brake system behaves as a non-ABS system.

If the bulb goes off after a long time being on, you might want to check the bulb first. Register on Autozone's free repair guide and follow the procedure of pulling the diagnostics code from the ABS system to learn what's wrong.
