Default 96 ABS light turns off when releasing Parking Brake

After I drive my 96 Blazer a few blocks, I can get the ABS light to turn off (and sometimes stay off for entire trip) just by pressing and releasing my Parking Brake while at a stop. Bumps and other driving actions have no affect. Also the dash Brake light is working normally.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been able to read the ABS code(s) yet.

Usually the problem with the ABS is due to cracked solder joints on the ABS module, but this is a new one to me. I was thinking perhaps a rear wheel sensor, but I do not remember if the rear brakes, especially drum brakes even have a sensor.

Best to find a way to read the error code(s) as otherwise just guessing.
