Re: ABS Service light?
You will need a GM Tech1A scan tool to diagnose and after fixing the problem, to reset the code.
If the problem turns out to be a faulty relay in the ABS system, I've dealt with this in the past. The relay is made of pure unobtanium new, you will either have to source a used one off another 1990, or perform a mod like i describe in a post long ago. Do a search for pasts posts by me on ABS relay mod. Crabs

Re: ABS Service light?
Check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder first. Then get a ALDL code reader after that.

Re: ABS Service light?
Years ago I was having problems with my ABS and I went to a Corvette wrecking yard and snagged every relay I could get,got a bag of these things. OP, the sensors are magnetic and over time pick up debris from the road and need to be cleaned from time to time.

Re: ABS Service light?
Z51JEFF, if it is the wheel speed sensors picking up debris have you ever known of someone who has removed cleaned and replaced them and they still worked ?I would be very interested in how they were removed without damage. Thanks.

Re: ABS Service light?
Update to my original question / issue. Service guy said the relays are causing the ABS light to come on and someone installed aftermarket Bosch brand before me owning the car. He said only way to make light go off is to have GM relays which cannot be bought new. So what next before I yank the bulb to make this problem go away ? Or will yanking the bulb cause another issue ?
