Remove the sensor and clean the whole item, should clear it hopefully ;D unless you end up unlucky like me having to replace the ABS pump :(

Agree with above, mine came on - cleaned the rear sensors and no problems since. That was ages ago.

Rough ground may cause the lights to come on, uneven tyre pressures have been known to do same.
