ABS Light as a speed sensor?

I got a problem recently that when my car go over 85 the ABS light start to turn on and stay there. After you turn off the car and on again, the ABS light will be off. For a few more test with myself I found that if the car was on a down slope run that gone over 85 or even 90 the ABS didn't come on. But if you are accelerating on a flat or slightly uphill highway to go over 85, the ABS light will come on. I have no idea what is going on there? Can anyone help? My car is a 97 CL 2.2

Def sounds like a wheel speed sensor, you have 4, and if one goes bad, it triggers the ABS light, or it could be reading chips or dirt on the axle too, I've had both problems. I've replaced 3 now, and an axle

According to acura the wss reads the wheel. according to them, mine had rock chips all over it, and when they replaced it, it improved the abs light
