Default Saff cossie 4x4 abs

Hi people. I was over my dads garage where my cossie is. Its been in his garage since november. Anyway its never been started up since november. The car started first time. Ive noticed the abs light is on. Is these any common things to check. Im wondering if its just cause its been stud a while. I will check the relays and connections later on when its warmer. Thanks for any help.

i only use mine from time to time too and have the same problem on the frist start. if i drive to the end of the road then restart it, the abs then works fine. I think its down to low voltage going to the ABS computer when you start it up
