Default ABS light

so my brake pad light was on for a alittle while on the dash and a few days ago my abs light would intermittly come on. Now all of a sudden the ABS is on all the time. I did change rotors and pads but ABS light still on ( I knew it wouldnt fix that problem) I have read about the wheel speed sensors and rebuilding the module. The brakes seem to work fine but I dont want to just go ordering parts. IS there a way to tell which it is and if its the abs module is it something I can do myself or do I have to send it away. Also where is the abs module and how the hell do you get those speed sensors out?

Thanks Guys

You need to start by pulling codes. Always start by pulling codes.

I have this exact problem. THe abs light came on and stays on all the time and then I got a Brake pad light. The pads are fine and the Code pull by Vag-COM was ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64) 16-00 Signal outside Specifications. The front rotors are badly worn and I have new ones and pads, but wanted to know what else I should look for when I am in there to correct the abs issue and pad light. Wiring? That would be my first thought since both came on for no reason.
