Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will
come on when you start
your engine and it will
stay on for three seconds.
That's normal.
If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays 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
light is on and the regular brake system warning light
isn't on, you still have brakes, but you don't have
anti-lock brakes. Adjust your driving accordingly.
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.

(See
"Traction
Control System" in the Index for more information.)
If there's a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come
on.
If
your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning light will come
on until your brakes cool down.
If
the
traction control
system
warning
light
comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
