Narrative:
Just after the '80 KTS' by the captain 'pilot not flying' he and I notice the wheel not turning light illuminate. The captain immediately called 'abort' and took control of the aircraft. Slowing to a stop on centerline I called ATC to notify them of an abort. The captain then instructed me to declare an emergency and have arff look at all tires due to possible overheat/blown tire etc. We taxied clear of the runway and stopped to await arff. They inspected the aircraft and noted no hot tires. We then taxied back to the gate with emergency equipment following. Aircraft was inspected and taken out of service. It pays to be vigilant and have a constant scan of all instruments to safely abort an aircraft. Noticing the caution light at low speed provided ample time for the captain to safely abort and bring the plane to a complete stop.
