If you have an autozone or advanced auto nearby,they will plug in their tester and tell you what the trouble code means for free. Naturally,they hope you will buy the part from them.I don't know what the seven blinks mean,possible gas cap loose?

It could be many things. You have to get the code pulled.

Check Engine and ABS??

First, check the brake fluid level.
Second, get the code read, soon!

Normally you have to put in a jumper or do some fancy key switching to get flash codes. I suspect something is wrong with the ABS brakes and it's a safety issue, thus the flashing Christmas tree to get your attention. If it occurs without special effort, I'm sure there's a reference to it in the owner's manual.

Typically, owners manual tell you to take it into the dealer if the CEL is on. They never say anything about troubleshooting. Also 99 is an OBD2 vehicle. No flash codes.

That's the reference I'm talking about. Serious, get it fixed.

My 99 Tahoe CEL comes on.
I check all the fluids and air filter and nothing wrong there.
After a few days (14 or so)the CEL goes away.
Then in 14 days it comes back for no apparent reason.
Everything runs and sounds fine, no change in mileage or tail pipe stink either.

Even though the CEL light goes out doesn't mean there isn' somehing wrong. You can pull the code after the CEL goes out. It gets logged. Could be something as easy as a misfire caused by a marginal spark plug. It is always a good idea to see what caused it.
