Check the ABS sensor there will be one on each of the front wheels and if it's not there believe it or not you have a bad ground connection on your battery post. Check all the wiring on each of the sensors make sure they don't have any 90* bends in them or you will have a faulty connection and maybe look for cracks in the protective plastic.

This is a fairly common problem, Gm has actually issued a service bulletin regarding this repair. The problem probably originates from one of your wheel speed sensors that is mounted inside one of your front wheel bearings. To be sure, you need to have the car scanned to find out which one and then you have to replace the whole bearing assembly because the sensor is integral to the bearing. The bearing is not hard to do but you will need some professional tools if you want to do it yourself. At a shop it should cost between 3 and 400 dollars complete.

I have a 2002 Buick Century. The ABS light came on intermittantly. At first it was only around some turns, then eventually it was on most of the time. In addition the actual ABS brakes pumped which was annoying.
I jacked up my car, took off the front wheel, and found an exposed wire on the hire harness. The wire was encased in a black piece of plastic which was supposed to protect it. You can peel back the plastic to look at the wires inside. The exposed wire was interferring with the signal being sent from the speed sensor.
Wrapping the wire and the entire wire harness in black electrical tape solved the problem. Not sure if my fix is going to last too long, but it definately solved the problem.
