If there is nothing wrong with the ABS system you can reset the codes by earthing two pins together for 10 seconds. I can't remember the pins off the top of my head sorry, but pretty sure its top left and bottom left.
If there is actually a fault though the code/light will come back up.

bent rims warped disc rotors or even a crook wheel bearing can cause this fault as well

ABS fails safe. The brakes will still function just as non-ABS. The light is there to indicate that the ABS itself is not able to function at that point in time.
