Make sure your wheel bearings are good and tight w/o any looseness in them. Spray some parts cleaner over the ABS sensors in each knuckle. Also make sure the wires didn't get unplugged to them too.

I would look carefully at the wheel sensors. They are easily damaged.

I had a the same problem. In an old post somebody had recommended replacing the pump relay (14105967) or the valve relay (12513302). They are located on the pump housing under the driver side rear storage bin. The price for the both relays on gmpartsdirect.com was about $50, so I replaced both. Antilocks are now working again, and it only took about 15 minutes.

I just fixed my Anti-Lock dash light a couple of days ago, so I can fill you in on all I did to find the cause.

What year is your car?
