I've been having the dash brake light ( ! ), and "BRAKE LAMP" warning light come on while driving, and eventually the ABS light came on as well.

I used the paperclip method to pull some code, but I don't know how to cypher it.

Here it is:

Can someone please tell me what it means, and what I have to do?

2-1 'Parking brake'.
Verify the handle is all the way down.
Verify the switch on the parking brake is functioning correctly
Verify the brake fluid is not at or below the 'low' mark on the reservoir.
Verify the brake fluid float is not broken/sunk.
Verify the brake fluid float wiring is not damaged/shorting out.
Verify brake lamp fuse is good.
Verify brake lamps are not blown.
Verify no open/shorts in ABS controller wiring.

Thanks man!

I'll get right on it

Checked everything, couldn't determine the problem. Had put a piece of wood on the brake, to see if they lit up. Both did.. In pure fustration I hit the trunk of the car.. Right brake lamp went out.. I feel so dumb. Checked the bulb, and the small thread inside was loose, but still touched.

Changed it out, problem fixed.

Is it really enough to make the ABS light turn on?

There is no information center on these cars, so the ABS system has this capability to allow the driver to know that something is wrong. Not the most easiest way to pinpoint a problem, especially a dangling intermittent filament. But it works well enough for 'normal' faults.
