Need to get the codes read. (would it even spit out any codes without the CEL?.)

I know that if it was the brake light alone, you are looking at low brake fluid.

Sorry I cant be of any help.

If it is both of those and your fluid is fine, I know my buddy has an Oldsmobile Intrigue and his does the same...it's a speed sensor in the wheel well that's lose and needs to be remounted. It sends the speed to the ABS & trac system.

I'd look into that if it's not your fluid...there's a wire harness attached to your wheel area, it's hard to miss.

the LS has 2 separate lights on the dash regarding the brakes.

it has the "Brake" light which tells u the handbrake is engaged and also tells u when the brake fluid is low.

and the "ABS" light which looks like a little circle i believe.

And the Brake pads warning light, but I think that came after 91.

thanks everyone, it was low brake fluid. what a load off. the last time I got two lights lit one was brake, the other was anti lock. that one cost me a lot. one of the rear elec senders had to be replaced. again thanks. michael
