In Rhode Island, an ABS warning light can fail a safety inspection.
Rhode Island inspection rules and the ABS light
Safety inspection
Cars and light trucks up to 8,500 lb are inspected for safety and emissions every two years. New vehicles are exempt until they are 24 months old or reach 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The ABS warning light
Rhode Island's inspection manual says an antilock brake system must be kept in good working condition and lists "ABS light stays on" as a cause for rejection. Inspectors check the check engine light, ABS light and brake failure lamp with the ignition on.
Emissions testing
The emissions part of the inspection reads the car's OBD-II system. It fails when current trouble codes are stored and the check engine light (MIL) is commanded on, or when too many readiness monitors are not set.
Winter roads in Rhode Island: check the wiring first
RIDOT buys road salt, sand and salt brine for winter and may pretreat roads with salt brine before storms, depending on the storm type and pavement temperature.
Roads in Rhode Island get salt or brine in winter, and that is hard on ABS wiring. Corroded wheel-speed sensor connectors and harness damage along the frame can set the same lights as a failed module. Before you pull the module, look at the sensor plugs and the module connector for green corrosion or broken pins. If they are clean and the codes point at the module itself — or the scan tool cannot talk to it at all — mail it in.

My ABS light came on after winter. Is it the module?
Not always. Salt and slush corrode wheel-speed sensor connectors and wiring, and that sets ABS codes too. Clean, dry connectors and codes that point at the module (or no communication with it) mean the module is the likely cause.
