ABS light blinking

I'm getting a code of 4 flashes, then a pause, then 7 flashes at startup. Then it sets solid. Anyone have any idea what this means?
No fuses blown or prior ABS light on this vehicle.
Thanks

You will have to a scanner that can pull ABS codes, most cheap scanners will not pull ABS codes. I do know about the only parts house that has it is Oreilys and the scan for free. Good Luck, hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll drop by there in the morning. I have a scanner but it won't pull ABS codes, already tried.

If your vehicle is pre 96, their scanner wont pull ABS. Some scanners cannot handle the post 2001's either.

92-95 vans ABS can ONLY be pulled with a New Generation Star running the pre 96 RED card. 92 and before you can do the blinky lights trick.
