The most common cause is a bad wheel sensor
if the abs light is on, this means that there is a problem in the anti locking brake system
the brakes will work but at some time they will let you down.take it and get it fixed before ya kill someone
the lights are there for a reason. lights on dash were nicknamed idiot lights
they are put there so idiots get the problem fixed
=========================================================
In my case the ABS light came and stayed on and the first ABS fuse that I
checked was not installed all the way ( still suspicious of how that could have
happened )
The ABS light is the light for the Anti-Lock Brake system. If the light stays on then there is a problem with the system. Your normal brakes will still work, but your ABS may not. Have it looked at by a professional.
The brake lights work without the key on, so you have a problem with your brake light switch.
You have a problem withe the ABS. Seek professional help.
My rear window brake light works, but not my tail light brakes on my 1997 Monte Carlo. What is the problem?
It can be many things. Can be the ABS wheel sensors or something more serious. Your normal brakes will still work but your Anti-Lock brakes may not function.
The vehicles anti-lock brake system (abs) has a problem and is not functioning. You still have basic brakes but the abs feature will not work.
You have a problem with the ABS system. Your brakes will still work properly but you will not have the extra safety of ABS. Have this checked out.
Found the answer. All of these things run through the ignition switch. May need replaced or, as in my case, just needed tightened.
Bring to a shop that has an ABS scanner to determine the problem
A problem with your anti-lock braking system. Your brakes and your ABS are two different issues. Your ABS system keeps your brakes from locking when coming to a hard stop. If it is not working correctly your light will come on. Best to have a shop look at it.
The abs light is a separate system from the brakes.. I know that sounds funny but the abs system is after the break system. Your brakes will still work if the abs is inop. The brake light is usually a fluid level indicator in the master cylinder, not a light to tell you to replace the pads or shoes. I would look for a fluid leak or a problem with the parking brake.
AnswerIv had a similar problem. youv got a loose connection in one of your back light units. its not expensive to get fixed though your car isn't a suzuki swift by any chance is it?
