Yellow Warning Lights

— Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Warning Light
This warning light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position and may stay on
for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then
the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not function-
ing and service is required as soon as possible. However,
the conventional brake system will continue to operate
normally, assuming the Brake Warning Light is not also on.
If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position, have
the brake system inspected by an authorized dealer.
— Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Warning
Light — If Equipped
The "ESC Indicator Light" in the instrument cluster will
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, and when ESC is acti-
vated. It should turn off with the engine running. If the
"ESC Indicator Light" comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the
ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition
cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see
your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The "ESC Off Indicator Light" and the "ESC Indicator
Light" come on momentarily each time the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
position.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or MAR
(ACC/ON/RUN), the ESC system will be on, even if it
was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds
when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop
when ESC becomes inactive.
• This light will come on when the vehicle is in an ESC
event.
— Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Off Warning
Light — If Equipped
This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is
off.
