I have a '99 Malibu, and was having a similar, if not the same problem. The "regular" brake light (red one) was coming on because the brake fluid level sensor went bad. It is mounted under the master cylinder. Really easy to change out and cost is minimal. Coincidentally, at the same time, my ABS (yellow) light was coming on intermittently, then after several days it was on constantly with the chiming noise you described. After doing a GOOD visual check to make sure none of the ABS components were damaged, I changed the hub assembly, which contains all of the ABS components down at the respective wheel. That solved the problem. I ran a quick scan to tell me which wheel was having the problem. Hub cost about $160. Job only took about 3 hours, and that was with a break included. Very easy.
