ABS Warning Light
ABS Warning Light
If you’ve got an ABS-equipped car, you also have a second light – the ABS light. If it comes on, get it seen to as soon as possible.
It means the ABS computer has diagnosed that something is amiss in the system. It could be something as simple as dirt in one of the sensors, or something as costly as an entire ABS unit replacement. Either way, if that light is on then you may not have ABS and will have only the manual braking system available.
It’s important to note that this light normally comes on when you start the car and then switches off a few seconds later.
If it stays on, blinks, throbs, flashes or in any other way draws your attention to itself, take note and call a service technician for mechanical repairs or electrical repairs as soon as possible.
The ABS controls part of the brake system and if it inadvertantly operates while driving can be very dangerous.
