Default ABS problem with 3dr

My abs light is coming on when it shouldn't be. It comes on as normal when the car is switched on from cold then goes out quite quickly. Problem is its coming back on after about 5-10 mins of driving and stays on. Anyone any idea what the problem might be?

have you got differebt sized tyres on the front & rear axles?
if so the tyre size can be enough for the abs light to come on when u reach a certain spedd. other than that clean all the sensors & the teeth on the hubs also checking for any that are broken

Wheels are different but they have been for a while and the problem has only just started. I will try cleaning the sensors and checking them though, ta
