Yes the alero does have abs it was and still is standard in GM passenger cars. Now that we cleared that up the light is on because there is a problem with the abs unit usually this is caused by someone not familier with newer cars changeing brakes and simply prying open the calipers without opening the bleeders. If this has been done the abs unit is destroyed and needs replaced. Also there is a rotation scenser at each wheel and on or all could be damaged such as the wires have been cut in some way or the scenser is bad.
Your ABS (Antilock Brake System) is kicking in. It's working.
NO, the problem needs to be properly repaired. its not like an oil or antifreeze leak. the basic principle of a brake system is the free movement of fluid through the brake lines. an additive to this system to "stop" a leak would ruin the whole system and be catastrophic to fix. brake leaks are generally an affordable fix.
Must be able to hold your car on a hill or incline, and usually consists of a cable or system of cables that will operate a ratchet on the rear brakes. NOT part of the hydraulic brake system.
The wheel cylinder (used in drum brake applications) applies pressure delivered from the master cylinder via brake fluidto the brake shoes to pushagainst the brake drum to stop rotation.
The caliper holds 2 brake pads in
No difference ABS, Antilock Braking System.
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. . .

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 )
The abs light is on because there is a problem with the system and it is not functioning. You need to have the codes read to determine what the problem is. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on.
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.
