Default ABS issues

So I was driving along about a week ago, and during a controlled stop from about 40mph I felt the ABS shudder on my brake pedal and all of a sudden my ABS light came on in my instrument cluster. The light has been on ever since and as I found out this morning when I got cut off by one of Vegas' many idiot drivers, my ABS isn't working (locked up the rears under heavy braking).

Any ideas as to what could be the cause of this? Haven't had time to make it in to see my mechanic yet I was wondering if anybody else has had this happen.

A random old school pic for a little eye candy:

Nothing definitive without the right tools to scan for it...but it could be something as simple as an abs wheel speed sensor all the way up to the abs module itself...this one is probably worth the 100 buck diagnosis fee...just my .02 Sweet pic...I wish I was in Vegas right now...sooo fun!
