ABS Operation: Indicators

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ABS Warning Light
The EBCM continuously monitors itself and the other ABS components. If the EBCM detects a problem with the system, the amber "ABS" warning light will light continuously to alert the driver of the problem.

A solid "ABS" warning light indicates that a problem has been detected that affects the operation of ABS. No antilock braking will be available. Normal, non-antilock brake performance will remain. In order to regain ABS braking ability, the ABS must be serviced.

Brake Warning Light
The red "BRAKE" warning light will be illuminated when a low brake fluid level in the master cylinder is sensed, the parking brake switch is closed (parking brake engaged), the ignition switch is in ON position and the engine is not running. The EBCM is not connected to the red "BRAKE" warning light, and cannot illuminate this lamp.
