Check the wiring connections. The pins on the wires and the wiring connections themselves get brittle with age and can become intermittent while looking ok.

There was one who had ABS module failing so that connection to dashboard ABS light were beaking so there was no ABS codes as it doesnt monitor light bulb in dashboard. Next can break other connections.
ABS module does not light up the light it only shuts the light so function is reversed so that connection if is broken you can result light on and no codes.
