I have heard that some ABS systems also monitor the bulbs and flag up any faults there. Had this on my Cav GSI a couple of years ago.
It could also be a loose connector under the rear seat (rear sensors) or the front ones under the bonnet on the inner wings (front sensors). Failing that, a fault/broken sensor. It is fairly easy for a stone to brake off the little peg that protrudes from the sensor towards the ring on the hub.
Hope this help

It's something to do with the LED's having less of a draw on the power than normal bulbs do, so the car picks it up and shows the warning lamp - the capacitor tricks it into thinking there's just normal bulbs in taking the same draw.
I have no idea whether or not the ABS is disabled when the warning lamp is on but I doubt it.
