Help thread: KTM 500 EXC-F ABS light appears after gravel road ride

This thread is for KTM 500 EXC-F ABS light appears after gravel road ride. I want to understand the logic, not just throw a shiny part at the bike and hope it feels appreciated. I can inspect wiring and physical fitment, but I want to avoid missing the simple stuff: bad earths, melted connectors, loose clamps, leaks, or cheap accessories causing noise.
