It means that the ABS control module has detected a problem in the ABS system. That will be impossible to determine without talking to the module with a scan tool to find out why it turned the light on. The other thing that it means is that you do not have ABS, but you now have conventional brakes. The ABS part of the brakes will not work until the problem is found out and fixed.
An ABS fault.
If the ((ABS)) Light is on then it's a good thing indicating that the Antilock brakes sensor is in good condition. I too have a 2002 mountaineer
Could be anything from an ABS system fuse , sensor etc . malfunction
Its located on your differential
A malfunction has been detected with the Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) could be a fuse , an ABS sensor , or some other problem * in my case , the ABS light suddenly 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 )
On your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer : A problem has been detected with the Anti-lock Brake System It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem As long as the red " BRAKE " light is not on in your dash , you still have " normal " brakes * my ABS light suddenly came on and the first ABS fuse I checked was not installed all the way (I don't know how that could have happened ! ) I touched the fuse with my finger , heard a " click " and the ABS light went out ( just lucky I guess , but suspicious )
No , ABS is the anti-lock brake system
your abs lite wont turn because its a warning lite.it comes on when something is not working the way it should.its a reminder for you to take it in to be repaired
Try calling one, or two dealerships and asking what could cause the ABS light to come on. See what they say and go fom there.
Check the abs wheel speed sensors. Or the abs module could be bad
