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.

From the PA's DMV FAQ webpage:

What are the inspection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks?

Safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks require that the following items be checked: suspension components, steering, braking systems, tires and wheels, lighting and electrical systems, glazing (glass), mirrors, windshield washer, defroster, wipers, fuel systems, the speedometer, the odometer, the exhaust systems, horns and warning devices, the body, and chassis. For most vehicles in the 42 county, Non-I/M region this safety inspection will also include a Visual Anti-Tampering Check. The Visual Anti-Tampering Check is an examination of the vehicle to see if the required emissions components have been tampered with or removed. For more information concerning the 42 County Visual Anti-Tampering Check please reference Section 175.80 of Subchapter E, of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations. For a complete list of the rejection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks, please visit Subchapter E of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations.
