Most ABS systems do, thats what the MOT part is about making sure the light extinguishes after it's done a diag.
Whats mentioned above is the sensor in the master cylinders that these have, by bridging the wiring connector, if the light extinguishes it shows the sensor is at fault.
The above being said if it were low fluid level it will also illuminate the fluid warning light as well, if ABS light is on solo it indicates a ABS system mal function.
