The light is on because some fault has been detected....

Could be a bad wheel speed sensor, failed bearing, faulty ECU/HCU.....

The ONLY way to disable the light is to also disable certain other functions inside the tachometer...

Had the same on my 09 Ultra. Took it to the dealer and they replaced a wire under warranty.

that has been a big problem. a wire up by the steering head, coming from the front wheel speed sensor, isn't routed very good. and when just turning the steering it eventually makes a break in the wire. just check the two wires coming up from the speed sensor. and feel on the harness side of the connector for a break in the wire.

Funny, why don't you just fix it correctly and have a fully functional ABS system...
