The ABS warning light illuminates
momentarily
when the
ignition switch is
turned to the ON position. If the ABS
control unit determines that all compo-
nents are OK, it turns off the light
(page 5-43).
If the ABS brake warning light remains
on, continues to flash or fails to illumi-
nate, have the system serviced immedi-
ately. With the ABS light on, the anti-
lock
brake system is disabled and normal
braking
is still ef
fective
unless the brake
warning light also remains illuminated
with the parking brake released.
CAUTION
If the amber antilock brake system
warning light remains on or comes
on while driving, a fault has been
detected
in the antilock brake system
and the antilock system has been
disabled. Have the braking system
checked
by a qualified service tech
-
nician as soon as possible. (Note: If
a
fault occurs in the antilock system,
the normal brake function remains
operational.)
