you might have run over something that hit the connector and dislodge it.. might check your connection...

Check the speed sensor in the rear axle. When the sensor fails it cannot tell how fast the wheels are turning and the computer activates the ABS and brake warning lights..

I have the 1998 service book in my computer files. I can email you the brake section if you need it. Let me know.
