It really depends on if your anti-lock brakes are functioning correctly. If they are not then that is why the light is on, so bring it to a brake specialist. Otherwise, if you know they are working properly then disconnect the black cable on your battery with a socket, or wrench being careful not to touch both poles on the battery terminal with anything metallic. Keep battery cable disconnected for a good minute or two then reconnect. Enter vehicle turn key to ACC, or the one right before you start it; wait 10 seconds then start the vehicle.
NO, but it would be a good idea to have your Antilock Brake System checked.
Antilock Brake Light comes on and stays on when the ABS computer detects some problem with the antilock brakesystem components. You will still have normal brake use, but the Antilock system will probably not work as an Antilock brake system is supposed to work. ABS system diagnostic code readers are available and are recommended for diagnostic purposes, however fixing ABS systems is perhaps best left up to the Pros. . .
gotta problem somewhere get 'er scanned
As long as the red " BRAKE " light is not on in your dash you still have " normal " brakes even with the ABS light on
the wiring is probally defected or the light is burned out
have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
instrument cluster is shorted out or corroded
The light may turn on due to uncleanliness of the start key. For this reason, it must be cleaned.
A problem has been detected with the Antilock Brake System It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem As long as the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is not on , you still have " normal " brakes
The ABS computer has detected a fault in the Antilock Braking System. Often it is a wheel speed detector or a modulator.
Something may be wrong with the engine, and you might need to check it.
As long as the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is not on , you still have " normal " brakes , so the answer would be ( YES ) A problem with the Antilock Brake System has been detected , it could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem , so the antilock brake system feature does not work * in my case , the ABS warning light came on , and the first ABS fuse that I checked was not installed all the way . I touched the fuse with my finger , heard a " click " , and the ABS light went out ( just lucky I guess , but also suspicious of how that could have happened )
