brake/antilock Light?

Lately when i step on the brakes and stopped for a while,like at a stop light or someones driveway waiting.
The brake light and antilock light will come on, now i dont remember this happening before.
Is this normal or is there something up?
Thank-you for any help.

Check your brake booster vacuum. Mine did that and it was a faulty booster losing vacuum.

Also check the hose from the pump to the booster.

Also, behind the glove box is the module that controls the Anti-Lock brake. I have had to unplug that and let it sit for a few minutes to reset itself. Doesn't hurt to check the Anti-Lock valve near the rear-end on the frame. It may have become dirty or something. Clean that well.

I had this problem a while back and the solution was adjusting the rear brakes. Might be the simpilest solution.
