If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to improve vehicle control (i.e. stopping and steering)
during severe braking conditions by limiting wheel lock-up. The system performs a self-diagnostics test
when the vehicle is started. When the system "senses" impending wheel lock-up, braking pressure is
automatically modulated in order to help prevent lock-up, which could lead to a skid. While the system
is modulating braking pressure (or performing the self-diagnostic test), the driver may detect a pulsation
