I have had an ABS fault warning in two other cars over the years and both times it was a wheel speed sensor/connector that was bad.

While damage to wheel sensors is common (road debris/corroded connectors) it is not always the case.
I know that other older XKs could suffer from that type of ABS fault...so does my other sports car with a Kelsey Hayes ABS controller (which apparently is a result of bad solder joints in the control unit). On our friends' XK8 cleaning and de-oxidizing the plugs to the engine bay controller made the issue go away for a while, but the fault eventually came back.
As @scm mentioned, the first step is always to determine what ABS codes are being set...go from there.
