Default ABS Warning Light

Hey guys, I have a 91, the abs light comes on after a minute or so of driving at highway speeds. It doesn't come on in the city but it makes jerky stops. Does anyone know what this is? I've checked the wheel speed sensors and they test fine.

If both the front sensors and the one rear one are good, and all the tire tread are the same (ones not bald) it could be the abs module
