As Bernd said, see if you can get a local auto parts store to scan
it; if any codes are set, that might point you in the right direction.
Also, double check your fuses, I think there may be some for the ABS
system, in which case a blown fuse may cause this. As far as whether
or not it is safe to drive, I suspect that probably your ABS system is
nonfunctional. If you can find a dirt or gravel road, you might be
able to test this. As long as the brakes feel fine otherwise, I don't
think there would be a safety issue with using the truck, just
recognize that you may not have ABS and be prepared to adjust your
emergency braking technique appropriately.
