Check fluid level. Unscrew the cap and screw it back down. If it is still on, take it to a brake shop.

Dude.. take it to the shop... same thing happened to me when i purchased my 05 Type-S.. the ABS light was on and i told them to fix it.. Have no idea what they did.. but the light came off.. but I rear ended an suv and didnt feel my ABS kick in.. Im still thinking they didnt do anything to fix this problem on my car.. so my best advice would be to take it to a shop!!!

your going to need to take it in and because theres a code stored in the ecu for the abs light. Its most likely a wheel speed sensor

I agree with the sensor, I've had that happen on my truck and that's what it was.
