OBD1 A3 codes 141, 142. 850 1995

My ABS and TRACS light came on while braking like normal. The car feels normal. I'm getting fault codes 141 and 142 from the ABS - A3 port of the OBD1. I cleared the codes and moved the car up a few feet and the ABS light can on again but not the TRACS light. I have a list of codes but it doesn't include either of these codes. Does anyone know what they are or how to tackle getting the proble fixed?
Thanks in advance.

    Pedal sensors are a known problem. A solder joint breaks and needs to be resoldered. It's a super easy fix if you have a solder iron.
    I've got a link to a repair procedure but can't post it now.
    I did the repair myself to cure an intermittent ABS / TRACS light.

    1-4-1 is faulty pedal sensor, shorted to supply or ground.
    1-4-2 is faulty stop lamp switch, open circuit or short.

    Did you wash the brake vacuum canister? My daughter went through a water puddle and sprayed water all over the ABS and brake canister. Once the area dried off, I cleared the codes and they stayed cleared. I then drove the car to 20mph, so that it does its self-check and then the ABS light went out.

    The brake pedal position sensor is attached to the rear (actually front) of the brake vacuum canister, right above the ABS module.
