Default 2001 Silverado Brake Warning Lights

I have a 2001 Silverado, and both brake warning lights come on intermittently. (ABS and Parking Brake light) The brakes seem fine. Has anyone else heard of this problem?



Thanks

1. remove ABS sensors, it's quite easy, and clean them
2. check brake fluid level.

Do what ukrkoz said, but adjust your back brakes as well. If your back brakes are out of adjustment really bad, it will trip your parking brake light. If you don't know how to adjust them yourself, have a friend do it for you. Its not too hard.
