I have a 91/900s that has an tear-drop shaped accumulator on the top of the brake master cylinder. Is it the same as your 9000? I own a 87/9000t that is with-out ABS braking system. The 91/900s has pumped-up and pressurized after 20. seconds, but when I do the 15 pedal pump test it fails due to the light coming on after seven to ten pumps. The brakes are still fine except the day when the ABS will need to do it's thing, I'm sure it's going to fail. Not to worry! I have a GM Direct site that you and I can replace the accumulator for $100.00 I haven't done this yet but I'm 99.9% sure this is our problem that the parts is just losing it's charge. I don't have a picture of the accumulator for the 9000, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same part. Flush to brake system with a power pressure unit. If you try the old fashioned way, (Pumping the brake pedal) you could lose the master cylinder due to crude movement in the master cylinder.
