ABS light comes on after two days and stays on. 03 Frontier

How do you reset ABS light? And what would cause it to come on after two days? It was hit hard in front but nothing is broken.

Typically it's damage to the sensor wire that will trigger this. Follow the wires from the caliper back to where they plug in. It could have been chaffed between the body and frame, or one of the retainer clips may have come loose/broken, and the wire got smashed between the UCA and the bumpstop.

I found a questionable wire and replaced it. I have contuinity to sensor. I am convinced that it just needs to be reset.

I have a code...C1111 (ABS motor) does that help? This truck was parked for 3 years and the ABS sort of froze up. Not completly which is why it will work for 2 or 3 days before shutting down. I am convinced that it just needs to be used and it will free itself from sitting around lack of use. I just can't bring myself to pay the dealor $120.00 to reset it again. There has got to be a way to reset at plug. But which wire to which wire? Truck only has 26,000 miles on it.
