Warning Lights

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1998 Suzuki X-90, 1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1997 Suzuki X-90, 1997 Suzuki Sidekick, and 1996 Suzuki X-90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Amber ABS, Blue ABS ACTIVE and Red BRAKE warning lights are located on instrument cluster (combination meter). When ignition is turned on, ABS and ABS ACTIVE lights will illuminate for about 3 seconds. The Red BRAKE warning light will also quickly flash. As engine is cranked, Red BRAKE light and Amber ABS light should illuminate steady. Both lights should be off 3-4 seconds after engine is started.

Red BRAKE light will stay illuminated if parking brake is on, brake fluid is low, and when ignition is on and engine is off. EBCM will also turn Red BRAKE light on when it does not control engine or when an ABS malfunction could interfere with normal brake operation. Since brake pedal feedback normally associated with ABS operation does not occur with ABS, Blue ABS ACTIVE light will come on when vehicle is involved in an ABS stop. If Amber ABS light stays on, a malfunction is present in ABS system. If Amber ABS light flashes, ABS malfunction is affecting normal brake operation and EBCM cannot turn Red BRAKE light on. Anti-lock braking function will be disabled until system is repaired.
