what year/model? which light are you referring to? The ABS light can be caused by either a faulty speed sensor or a problem with the ABS controller board. Late 90s/early 00s models were prone to developing cracks in the solder in the ABS board. Several services will rebuild your board or you can swap in another controller (bolts to the ABS pump so you don't need to open up the brake lines).

ah ok. I had to look at the owners manual to find what light 21 is. That's your Tracs control indicator light (my 850 was a 95 and that feature came out in 96). Check the button above the sunroof switch to make sure its not in the disengaged mode as that will set the indicator light.
