Default ABS light and idling problem

I just bought a 97 Accord LX V6. A couple days after I bought it, the ABS light started to come on and stay on for as long as the car is on. Once I turn on the car, it comes on a couple seconds later and stays on until the car is shut off. I've checked the fluid, but that's the only thing I personally know how to check, so that's all I looked at.

Also, when the car is idling, either in P or in D, it idles kind of rough. Any ideas? Spark plugs? Timing?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can read ABS error codes by jumpering the SCS service connector, search for the details, 'cause your '97 probably isn't the same as my '98. When you jumper that, the ABS lamp will flash the code...
