Most likely wheel speed sensor problem - either broken wire or a problem with the sensor/hub. To find out which one, you need to read the ABS codes.
the ABS light indicates a problem in in Abs system, a brake light indicates a problem with main braking system. such as low fluid level, leaks in system, parking brake on etc. Abs system works in conjunction to brake system. but abs system is not the main or basic braking system.
you have to fix the problem or the light will just come back on until you do.
Bring it to a shop that has an ABS Scanner
I feel it does being it is that new. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. If a yellow light comes on saying abs, then it does.
Yes, the 2002 Malibu has an ABS system with sensors at all four wheels.
The ABS light on a 2014 Chevy Malibu may illuminate due to various reasons, such as a malfunctioning ABS sensor, issues with the ABS module, or problems with the brake system itself, like low brake fluid or worn brake pads. Additionally, a faulty wheel speed sensor or electrical wiring issues can also trigger the light. It's important to diagnose the specific issue using an OBD-II scanner for accurate troubleshooting. Ignoring the ABS light can compromise braking performance, so it's advisable to have it checked promptly.
The Engine light means Check Engine, the gaslight means low gas, and the oil can means the oil is low. The ABS light means there is a problem with the ABS system, the BRAKE light means the emergency brake is on, and the seat belt light means the driver is not buckled.
Your normal brake system is fine but your anti-lock brake system has a problem. They are two distinct and different systems. You may or may not have a functioning ABS. Have your ABS checked by a professional. Not a DIY repair.
brake and abs light on , on 1994 Chevy Cavalier Z24
No , the brake light should come on when you press the parking brake pedal , but the ABS light should not come on
My 1998 Malibu had the same problem. The reason that it is on is because your brake sensor is located in your wheel bearing, and most likely your wheel bearing is worn out. I replaced both front wheel bearings and the ABS light is no longer on.
If only the red brake light is coming on, the parking brake is on or the brake fluid is low. If the yellow abs light is also on, the abs computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
