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.
