It could be as simple as low brake fluid, or as complicated as a brake control module or hydraulic control unit. The best way to know for certain is to have it checked at the local dealer, a check with a scan tool will give the technician a diagnostic code that is stored in the control module that will help to diagnose the problem. The normal braking system will operate properly with the ABS lamp illuminated, but in an emergency situation the anti-lock brake system may fail to help you keep control of the vehicle due to the malfunction.

This seems to be uncomplicated with Malibus, Grand Am's, Alero's, etc., and that i might say is a results of inexpensive electric powered aspects (fuses, wiring) and assembly. in case you like a non everlasting restoration and choose to waste money, take it to the broker or mechanic, in any different case do away with it and say so long to GM. Is there a Chevy guru obtainable it relatively is seen various those problems and would shed a sprint gentle?

Way high likelyhood that it is the speed sensor, located in the top of the rear end housing. It costs about 40 bucks, and is simple to put in. Of all of my abs repairs ( I do alot), That is the culprit a good 80% of the time.
You can get a repair manual at a local parts store for about 20 bucks that will tell you how to diagnose and repair it.

You have a fault in the ABS system. You need to have the codes read from the brake controller module to know what steps to begin in diagnosing the cause.
