Default Abs light on?

Been out today and my ABS light has come on.

2001 wrx wagon. Previous to this there had been a feel
of grinding as if the abs was taking over at low speed
but this has now gone?

Got a mate coming with his obd reader to find out what's
going on but any ideas?

Mine was the n/s rear sensor, any good garage with diagnostics will be able to advise which one is faulty.

My mate is going to strip it down on my next weekend
off, reckons its probably just a dirty sensor.

Hopefully that's all it is as my love affair with subaru
has taken a beating since buying this one at Xmas.
