Default 90 abs brakes

It's getting colder here in Canada.Tonight my 90 felt as if I didn't pump the brakes, I had almost none.Getting worse driving home, scary stuff.ABS light is always on.
Geared down to help. What is this? Low fluid? Master cylinder gone? Boost? No ...
Scared to take it in in the morning!

Sounds like a fluid issue.
Could be finally over saturated with water and copper.

Start with a complete fluid flush, bleed and fill.

Glad to hear that helped. I usually do mine completely, yearly on all my cars. Whether they need it or not. Had mine do that to me shortly after I bought it.. (23 year old brake fluid was in there) did the drain, flush, bleed, fill, drain, fill bleed on it to get me by until new calipers, master cylinder, pads and rotors came in.

Worked like a new car. Worked even better after I put all the new parts in it. Could have gotten on without replacing everything probably, but I didn't want to take the chance seeing just how skuzzy that old fluid was.
