In several Volvo models dirty sensors are the classic cause of ABS lights.
Brake pad dust builds up on them and a shot of brake cleaner does the trick.
I imagine the same is true of most cars.

Passports are actually rodeos so what I say here is probably of no
use.

On a 97 accord, there are two wiring connectors underneath the glove
compartment. One has 6 wires (I think) and the other has two. The
one with 6 is made for a special software tool that allows all kinds
of measurements involving the ABS. The one with two - you short it
out and then the ABS light on the dash will blink out the trouble
code. You may need to get the factory service manual to interpret the
code.
