98 S-70 gl
When i took the wheels off to play with the connectors for the wheel sensors
I noticed it needed new brake pads badly.. waaay thin. Got new ones from IPD and
went about replacing them... the intermittent ABS/TRX light went off for 2 days.
Started coming on again but only for short periods..
Who knows...

Axel, the ABS light is an indication of a fault in the ABS system.
On your model, most likely it is an indication of a defective ABS control unit. All the ABS unit will eventually fail.
Worn brake pads was probably just a concidence.
I have more information on the ABS issues on my web site.
