Your ABS warning light in your dash cluster should come on briefly when you first turn the ignition key to the first position and then go out. (2 or 3 seconds normally)
If it remains on after the engine starts and / or you subsequently move off then you probably have a need to check your brake system for a fault.

Have you checked your brake fluid level? May need a top up.
Also look for any visible signs of brake fluid leaks to brake hoses etc.
Failing that it's probably to do with an ABS module problem or a loose connection.
You would need to get car scanned for a fault code with a Volvo dealer or someone else with a scanner reader, preferrably one that can also reset ABS system.
