Probably a wheel speed sensor that is either going bad or has a bad connection. I had that issue for about 6 months before it fixed itself...

Seeing as they are wheel speed sensors, one would only guess they are near the wheels...

There is a wheel speed sensor on the back of each of the front hubs, it's the only sensor on there...

I've had a tail light go out and the only way I knew was because someone told me...and that's not going to make the ABS inop light come one...
