i have a 86 bronco that cuts out when it reaches running tempature.
frist the brake light looks like its on but its just the glow of the antilock light it is very bright. the antilock is on your rear axle needs replaceing.
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. . .
the light tells you in your car
If the ABS (antilock brake system) light stays on, there is a problem with the system and it will not function should you need it in a panic situation. Have a mechanic repair it soon for your safety.
It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem with the antilock brake system ( as long as the red " brake " light in your dash is not on you still have " normal " braking )
Antilock brake system
It is on because there is a problem with the Antilock Brake System (ABS).
NO, but it would be a good idea to have your Antilock Brake System checked.
When anti-lock brake light comes on and goes off, it may be due to a malfunctioning wheel sensor. Another possible cause of this problem is a malfunctioning ignition switch.
Antilock brake system
The Antilock Brake System or ABS light stays on in a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder because there is a problem with the brakes. The brakes are either low on fluid or they need to be changed or adjusted.
If your ABS light stays on you have a problem with the ABS and it is not functioning. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on.
