When I turn the key switch to on I here the fuel pump running and the brake pump building pressure when the brake pump stops running the anti lock amber light goes off. When I turn the key switch to start the amber light comes back on and remains on. With the key switch off and I short the ALDL terms A&H the amber light stays off and the amber light stays off and will not display any codes. The brake fluid reservoir is at the max level mark. What can cause the amber light to remain on with the engine is running?

Thank you Ronnie - I finally went out and pumped my brake pedal 25 times then turned the ignition ON and started the engine and the anti lock amber light stayed ON. I checked the brake fluid level and it was about 1/2" low, added fluid level to the max level mark. With the ignition OFF I pumped 25 times then turned the ignition ON and started the engine and again the anti lock amber lamp stayed ON. I checked the reservoir and it is now 1/2" down from the max level mark. I pumped 25 times then started the engine and the anti lock amber lamp went OUT and stayed OFF. SUCCESS !!! What all this resulted from is my '89 is a garage queen and over the previous 2 years has had very few miles and the accumulator nitrogen pressure had slowly forced the brake fluid back to the reservoir plus the fluid level down kept the anti lock amber lamp ON. Once again thank you Ronnie Woody 89 MAUI

Left to run some errands this morning and the car didn't trip any codes. Started and turned off the car 3 times and so far all is good. Also checked the codes through the CRT and no codes stored there either as current or history.
