I would pull each wheel and check each abs sensor for metal debis build up. The metal debris on them is from the brakes and the senors are like magnets. This sometimes will give you warnig lights. Clean them up and see what happens.
Hope this helps!

Most problems with the ABS system are simple.
If cleaning them doesn't work then check to make sure that they are getting signal. If they are then check the relays which are in the system behind the drivers seat.
Keep us posted.

Thanks for the great information. I have decided that since I want to pull the wheels to clean up the suspension, and hopefully eliminate squeaks, I will tackle this at the same time. Now that Fall is here, I will likely wait until cold weather has settled in and driving days are down, to put the car up on jacks.

The definitive article on C4 ABS is here:

I have heard that there is a relay that fails fairly often. Don't know anything beyond that.

Brake Flush
My ABS light was coming on and I flushed and bled the brakes a couple of times and it seems to be working fine last time I took it out for a drive.

I am thinking about disassembly of the front suspension to grease up and hopefully eliminate some serious squeaking when hitting bumps. I have average mechanical abilities and a decent set of tools (no specialized automotive tools). After looking it over, I am concerned that I might get in over my head. You know, take something apart and cannot get it back together.....I appreciate any feedback from this that have been down this path!
