Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light - Buick 1999 Riviera Owner's Manual

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you're driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you're driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn't
on, you still have brakes, but you don't have anti
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
-
on, you don't have anti lock brakes and there's a
problem with your regular brakes. See "Brake System
Warning Light" earlier in this section.

The anti lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

With the anti lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come on when you start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That's normal.
