    The pulsating brake is the ABS. First thing to check is the OVP relay behind the battery. It has a fuse that if blown will deactivate the ABS.

    I've had my 2003 Astro van for 2 years, it only has 107,000 miles on it. I have dumped nearly 4500 dollars into this piece of 💩 .New front and rear shocks, steering linkage, sway bar, ball joints, rear calipers and shitty drum brakes, fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. And guess what!! After all the ignition work, it's still pulling a po600 code. But I'm attached to it because I also built it out. If there is anyone thinking of buying one of these, DON'T.
