Default A.B.S. trouble. Please help!?

I have no first gear because my A.B.S. is not working (niether is my ride control or my traction control). The car is a 95' STS and the codes are:
T061- low brake fluid
T083- motor pump circuit
The car has plenty of brake fluid so the sensor is bad and I am guessing the other one is the A.B.S. pump. Can anyone tell me how to tell if the pump is bad? how do I test it? I have a complete 1995 or 96' Deville with a northstar (My family owns a scrap processor and somebody junked one yesterday)so I guess I can use that one if it is bad, (the pump).

Also, Before I process the Deville, are there any parts from the Northstar that I should take, just in case??

I be pulling the whole engine'trani, with all accesories before the crusher gets to it.

Your codes seem to be backwards? This is what i get:
T061- brake relay failure code
T083- low brake fluid

Did your service suspension warning light come on also? need new shocks?
you may want to get your vehicle hooked up to a scanner, read the trouble codes computer is throwing out.
It could be something as minute as a non-working sensor or $1,000 of work.
