IT'S YOUR CAPS LOCK BUTTON. SWITCH THAT OFF AND ALL WILL BE WELL.


Seriously tho..it will either be your ABS belt has snapped and caused the light ot go on or more probably your ABS sensor has fallen out of the casing. Look under the car and see if you can see a switch dangling on a cable. If so, then your sensor has fallen out. Just silicon it back on (silicon around the edges) and it will be fine. Ideally needs to be on a ramp for easier fitment and to see what goes where but can be done from the top if you know where you are going.
