Default ABS light comes one when being pushed

so this happened couple of times to me already and wondering if its a sign for something serious later one. but when i push my car.... say 40-140mph, the abs light comes on but the brakes seem fine and stops normally. wtf is goin on? it turns off when i turn the car off and turn it back on. any suggestions?

My track car had a similar problem. Check all 4 ABS sensors to make sure they are seated properly and in the correct orientation. Check the magnets for debris as well. In my case, I thought I found the problem when the right-rear sensor was popped up and twisted a bit. Unfortunately, that didn't fix my problem. Replacing the ABS 'brain' did, though. Used, it was a very inexpensive part and was relatively easy to install.

^before doing that though..check the basic stuff first. my cars ABS light and e-brake light lit up every now and then. turns out my brake pads were really low causing the brake fluid to read low. replaced my brake pads and the lights havent come on since

Yep, low brake fluid, or a stuck float in the fluid reservoir could cause the symptoms as well.
