Very very good chance your alternator is dying. The ABS light and some other indicator lights get their ground through the alternator field circuit, so if the alternator is going flaky these lights may come on or flicker.

 

This is definitely something to check out right away or otherwise prepare for to avoid being stranded.

ABS = dying altenator

ABS + brake = impeding doom

ABS + Brake + Battery = pull over NOW

 

 

Get your charging system load tested. Make sure they test it at 2000 RPM with everything on in the car.
