I had exactly the same problem. The fault was a faulty front wheel sensor. The Anti-lock light turns on when the pressure in the booster is low, or when the ECU sees a wheel that isn't turning while you're not braking. Tis explains the grainy feeling you have sometimes on the pedal when the light is off, what's happening is that one sensor gives the information of a stopped wheel. If it happens when not braking, the light will come on, if it happens in braking, then the ABS will do its job to avoid blocking wheels.
In my case, the light turned off after a few seconds after startup (when the pressure rised enough), and turned on in occurrency of bumps or hard cornering, usually not more than 1-2 km from having started. I looked at the the light because I knew the, until it wasn't turned on, I could have problems braking.
I solved the problem with two sensors from a junked car, a '89 with 189000 km, I had the for 50 euros with warranty, they worked fine for a couple of month, then the same problem. Cleaned and re-tightned the bolts tat holds then to the hub cured it for now, it's lasting about six month (15000 km). No problems since.
HTH, and I hope I've understable. English isn't my native language, and I don't have many places besides TSN to improve it.
