Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: 96 Oldsmobile Aurora Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light, oldsmobile aurora, dry pavement

Question
Hi there within the last few weeks it has got bitterly cold out (-22C or about -6F), and since then my anti lock break light has been coming on. The manual states to pull over, turn the engine off, then restart. This resets the computer. Then it is fine for a while, then it will come on again. The is happening more and more. I notice if I hit a bump, then this will make the light go, but not always. Any help would be appreciated!
