Brakes
3. The Anti-Lock Brake light will illuminate for 3
seconds when the ignition key is turned ON. The
light should turn off after 3 seconds as part of the
system self-diagnosis procedure to indicate that the
ABS is operating normally. The ABS will not
operate if the ABS light stays ON. In this instance,
CBS will operate and the ABS needs to be
inspected.
4. If there is a problem with the ABS and EBD system,
both the brake and ABS lights will illuminate at the
same time while driving, indicating that the CBS
and/or ABS may not be working normally and
should be checked.
The Spectra has power-assisted CBS that automatically
adjusts with normal usage. The brake pedal requires
greater force from the driver if the power-assist loses
power such as when the engine is not running and the
brakes are repeatedly applied.
The driver will notice a high-pitched warning sound
from the front or rear brake pads when they are worn
and need to be inspected. This is not associated with
a possible normal brake squeal when brakes are first
applied in certain driving conditions or climates.
The Spectra's parking brake handle is located in the
center console and is cable operated to the rear
calipers. The service brake should apply at 6-8 clicks
of upward brake handle movement.
The optional ABS continuously senses if the wheels are
going to lock during brake application and if so,
modulates the hydraulic brake pressure to the wheels.
During this ABS event the driver may hear a "tik-tik"
sound or sensation in the brake pedal, which is
normal.
