The cars computer checks each sensor when you start the engine, if the wire to any sensor is damaged or broken the abs light will stay on. The broken wire youve found is where i would expect it to connect to the sensor itself. You could try a temporary repair to the wire to get rid of the warning light but might be best to get it checked out professionaly just to be sure.

Certainly the broken sensor wire will cause the ABS warning light to come on and it will remain so until repaired. The light may have to be switched off using a scantool.
In the meantime the brakes will work normally but will not have the ABS function and your insurance cover may be compromised.
