Default ABS light issue

I have an 08' ultra w/ABS and lately the indicator light that usually flashes and then disappears after I take off, is now staying illuminated. Anybody know if it's just a sensor or had this same issue? Thanks for any advice.

There is a design defect in the wiring loom right where the wires branch off to go down to the sensors in the neck. Sensor wire breaks there. No continuity with the sensor and the ABS module. The dealer will try to get you to replace the sensor first (don't ask how I know), then will take the time to troubleshoot the loom. 08 Ultra here. I'd start there. They know about this issue.

Much appreciated rpeters282, thank you for the response. When I go in for my next service, I'll ask them about it and see what kind of fix they'll recommend to me.

22,000 Miles on mine!
Two weeks ago I got new Rear Pads, They used a Digital Tech to bleed ABS!

I always do a test ride before leaving.
Light WENT TO intermittent, therefore ABS IS TOO!

Turned key off to reset twice yesterday and light is back on.
It stayed on today,
HELLO DEALER TOMORROW!
