I would take the car right back to the shop that cleared the code. There was a 50/50 chance of clearing the codes. The good thing is now the shop will be able to pin point the failure with the fresh code. Most of the time the abs controller is going out. The controller also might not be readiing the tire sensor . If one sensor goes out the abs light will come on. The controller could be working fine and one of the sensor has to be replace. That is the cheapest cost. The abs controller and abs hydraulic controller is big bucks to replace , The part is around 1500 bucks. The tire sensor are around 25.00 35.00 each.
The manufacture has made the vehicle to where if the abs system is not working correctly then the brake system will automatically work as normal brakes with out the abs system.
Yeah its a pain in the you know where to take back but I would fight tooth and nail with the shop not to charge you any additional check out time. If the shop stands behind there work they will not charge you additoinal check out time.
Good Luck
