ABS light on after having car transported

I recently moved down to florida from NY and had my car transported on a car hauler. As soon as the car arrived i got in and the ABS light was on which never came on before. My question is what could of been affected from the car sitting on a 45 degree incline on the car hauler for a 16 hour drive lol?

Maybe check your abs sensors

Very unusual for that to happen from just a tow

Check all 4 ABS connectors at the wheel hubs.

Im going to check all the connections tonight when I get home. It was transported by a car hauler. One of those 18 wheelers that carries like 8 or 10 cars at a time. The cobalt was toward the back of the truck on a 45 degree incline sloping backwards

I checked both connections in the front and they seem to be fine. Would I be able to test them with a test light?

Keep driving it and scan it again. It will tell you which one it is.

All the fuses check out fine. I have picked up wheel speed sensors before with my scan tool so hopefully it will show up. If all the wheels sensors check out what else should I check?
