I dont know much about the earlier 90 Chevy's but I think I found a link that will help you, its from the folks at Fullsizechevy.com

Also see the post Suburbinite about the ABS Codes.

off the top of my head sounds like you could have a loose connection to a sensor on the wheel.

Hey rebel8ball,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

Wellwaddayanno... ... Satan's Silverado!

And just in time for Halloween.

If you disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes, it will clear all codes. Maybe you have an old or error code coming up. Once it clears the system, if it shows again, try cleaning all the plug connectors for the brake sensors.

It could be just a bad ground wire somewhere on the brake system. Or perhaps the firewall/engine (Myyyyyy favorite!) ground strap is getting too corroded. If it is, more systems will start getting wonky in the next few weeks.

The brake light serves as a ABS light in early ABS systems.
