On a '96 the problem is 99.9% the module itself crapping out. There are a number of re-builders that will rebuild the module for between $80.00 and $150.00 or, if you are handy with a soldering iron you can fix it yourself for free. Search the repair database for ABS and you should find my writeup on how I have fixed mine.

If you don't deal with it things will get worse and you will lose your speedometer.
