What does an ABS warning light mean?
The anti-lock braking system monitors sensors and electrical components. A warning means the system detected a fault and ABS may be limited even if conventional braking remains available.
What it may indicate
- The ABS light remains on after startup
- ABS, stability or traction warnings appear together
- The warning starts after wheel or suspension work
What to check
- Read ABS-module fault codes
- Inspect wheel-speed sensors and wiring
- Check power supply, connectors and components indicated by diagnosis
When to prioritize an inspection
If a red brake warning also appears, pedal behavior changes or braking performance drops, prioritize immediate inspection.
