I would call the inspection station and ask them directly.
Even if it passes with the light on, you should get it fixed, it's on for a reason..

In a word, yes. Any warning lights showing a problem with a car's safety systems are grounds for failure. Have the vehicle's ABS unit scanned by an ABS-specific scanner to detemine the problem.
