ABS light + check engine light

The ABS light is "on" all of the time on the claret, is there a way to check to see what the code is? Or what is the best way to go about trying to fix this?
Also on the claret, I am having a problem with the check engine light, it seems like the car doesnt like driving on one road in particular, I drove the car all the way from Chicago to Columbus with no problems, have driven it around town, with no problems, but every time I get on this one short stretch of highway (happened 3 times) the check engine light comes on as soon as I get on this highway, and goes off as soon as I get off of this highway.
It does not have any stored codes.

"search" I think that's a way to check your ABS code but I forgot where it is. Check out your owner manual maybe in there too.

"checklight" come on only at highway because you're speeding. Just kidding.

the ABS module is under the pass side seat... There is a small flap next to the outter seat rail which you can peal up... From there you will see an LED on the module. Turn the key on and count the blinks... Check earthworm's site for more info

If the ABS module does not show a code, then the module needs to be replaced. Mine was always on until I replaced it.

If you are driving faster on this stretch of highway, it's probably your 02 sensors.
