if you hit a patch of ice and you go sliding across all four lanes of traffic, its not working.
Possible abs sensor failure.
When the ABS module fails the computer will typically show either a "brake" light or a "service" light on the dashboard. Note that most code scanners available to consumers do not read ABS fault codes.
the amber ABS light indicates a problem with the ABS system, not the main braking system. but the main braking system is working.
The ABS light coming on means that the abs is not working. When braking hard the car could lock up the tires and slide.
your abs sensor light is on probably becuase the abs in one or all of your breaks are not working, take it to a mechanic so they can tell you if that is for sure the problem.
You should have an ABS light on your dash that lights when an ABS fault is detected.
There is a problem with the ABS system. It is part of Traction Control. If the ABS is not working then the Traction Control is not working. You still have standard braking but probably no ABS. Have this checked by a professional, as it can be many things.
some cars abs light comes on if your third brake light is not working. check and see if a wire is broken, ect.
When the speedometer stops working and the ABS or traction disabled light comes on in a vehicle it indicates that the vehicle's ABS system is faulty. This could be indicative of a faulty wheel sensor or the ABS tracking system itself.
It means the ABS (Antilock Brake System) has a problem and is not in working order. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on.
The light on tells you that the ABS is not working and the braking system will work just the same as a pre-ABS vehicle when stopping. Once the problem has been fixed the light will go out. You don't need to reset the light. --Ken
This means there is a component that is not working properly or not working at all in your abs system, it could also mean you have no power going to your abs system or an open wire in your abs system. It could also be the that the fuse is blown for you abs system.
