Default When checking for codes ABS light is falshing

Alright,
My Maint Req. light started flashing when i would start the car a couple of days ago, so when I checked for codes, the ABS light started flashing (threw a 21). I looked at the codes and 21 is supposed to be a Vtec solenoid failure or something; however, I have an LS.
What could be the problem guys?

Thanks,
BTW, it's a '95 LS

The only way for ABS to 'know' anything about the parking brake is by the same circuit that lights up the 'brake' lamp in the cluster. So that's where you can start looking, for example the little switch button at the handbrake lever.

When diagnosising the codes I am getting three short flashes ten seconds apart on my ABS light...then it stays out.

Anyone know what this means?

It would be good to know what year, because they changed the ABS system somewhere around '98. I think the codes changed at that time, too.

Sorry...I thought my sig was included...

It is a 94 Accord EX Auto

I am not sure if it was three seperate long flashes or what...it was very different from the CEL and the D4 light flashes.

Again, it stopped completely after the third flash.
