Slam on the brakes and steer around the obstruction. Do not pump the brakes. The ABS will do this for you. Be prepared for noises and a shudder in the brake pedal which is normal.

What does abs mean If it appears on your dashboard?

AnswerABS stands for Antilock Brake System. If the light stays on, then there is a problem with the ABS system. You will have normal braking but the ABS will not function. Check the 60 amp fuse in the fuse box. If missing or blown, the ABS light will be lit on the dash panel.If the fuse is missing, it disables the anti-lock feature of the braking system. If the brakes are otherwise in working order, you will still be able to brake. ABS can be disabled this way if the ABS module is causing braking problems or if you just hate the way ABS feels. Note that a sticky front brake caliper can cause the ABS to activate at the wrong time, releasing the brakes when you wish to stop. :-o I had the fuse removed from the fuse box for this reason until the caliper was replaced.If the fuse is blown, you will probably want to find out why. A brake specialist or auto electrician may be needed.


What does the abs light on in a 2009 Kia Sportage mean?

ABS usually means the anti-skid for braking , so if the light is on you have a ABS brake problem. The front brake rotors send speed signals back to the computer so the computer can calculate not really the speed, but in a way it does, for revolutions of the rotors and a quick change in ABS signal to the computer along with a brake signal makes the brakes pulse instead of locking up help preventing skidding.


Why does the abs traction and brake lights stay on in 2000 Lincoln ls?

There is most likely a bad wheel bearing/hub assembly/ABS sensor either on the front or rear. Knowing which one is the key and the easiest way to tell is to have someone scan the brake codes. It may cost 20 bucks or so for that knowledge. Unlike engine codes, you can't jump wires to find out the code. It must be scanned or go through the proper channels of testing all the areas involved with a voltmeter.


How do you make the abs light on 92 acura go out because I don't need the ABS anymore?

Considering the ABS light is on, more than likely your ABS is not functioning. The only way to make the ABS light go off is to fix the problem that caused it to come on in the first place. You say you do not need ABS anymore. So you're not planning on making any emergency stops, where the ABS might prevent you from having an accident. When used correctly your ABS system can be a lifesaver. To use it properly stomp the brake, do not release the brake, and steer around the hazard.

How can I tell if my 1997 Geo Prizm has abs?

Anti lock brake systems were optional on all 1997 Geo Prizm cars. One way to know if the car has an ABS system is when the ignition is turned on. The ABS light will briefly come on when the car is started.
