ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
The amber Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) warning
indicator lamp is located on the instrument panel in
the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

When the ignition key is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the amber ABS warning indicator lamp is lit
until the Controller Anti-Lock Brakes (CAB) com-
pletes it's self-tests and turns off the indicator lamp
(approximately 4 seconds). The amber ABS warning
indicator lamp will illuminate when the CAB detects
a condition that results in the shutdown of ABS func-
tion or when the instrument cluster does not receive
messages from the CAB. The CAB sends a message
across the PCI bus circuit that informs the instru-
ment cluster to turn on the amber ABS warning indi-
cator lamp.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction con-
trol, the TRAC OFF indicator lamp will illuminate
anytime the amber ABS warning indicator lamp is
on.
Under most conditions, when the amber ABS warn-
ing indicator lamp is on, only the ABS function of the
brake system is affected; the base brake system and
the ability to stop the vehicle are not affected.
