With the anti

-

lock brake

system, the light(s) will
come on when your engine
is started and may stay 
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.

If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on, there
may be a problem with the antilock portion of the brake
system. If the red BRAKE light is not on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have antilock brakes. See “Brake
System Warning Light” earlier in this section.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti

-

lock

brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti

-

lock brakes and there’s a

problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” earlier in this section.

The anti

-

lock brake system warning light will come on

briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. This is
normal. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.

If the ABS light stays on or comes on while you are
driving, pull off the road as soon as possible and stop
carefully. Try resetting the system by turning the
ignition off then back on. If the ABS light still stays on
or comes back on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. Have the anti

-

lock brake system

inspected as soon as possible.
