The warning light has very little to do with the hydraulic brake system.
The ABS system uses the hydraulic system to prevent the brakes from locking up.
You would need to have the body computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed with repairs.

SOURCE: Locate ABS relay for 1994 Mercury Sable

ABS light on problems are either the result of bad wheel sensors, bad connectors, or bad ABS relay.

The relay is usually mounted to the top of the ABS module (it was on my '01 Tahoe). And until mine went out, I didn't know these things were problematic. I found a place in Moscow, IA that rebuilds them for $150 and gives a 5 year warranty. You pull your off, send it to them, and have it back in less that a week.

Find their website by Googling ABS repair, Moscow, IA. They have a troubleshooting guide and everything on their website.

You will need the code/s read. The computer that monitors and controls the ABS system has detected a fault. It could have to do with just about anything so have it checked out. Keep in mind, you can not get a state inspection sticker with that light on.

Sounds like it may be a defective brake fluid level sensor on the master cylinder.

My brake light keep beeping on my 2000 lexus had rotors and brakes done and my brake fluid is full what can be wrong

Connect it up to a High Level Scan Tool and read the codes and live data. May be a bad connection on the ABS sensor or the brake wear sensor depending on the model.

just look for the blackened/burned pin on the rear light plastic connector and sand it down to re-establish a good electrical connection and save yourself $800 big ones on replacing the multiswitch.

The abs light is permanently on for past 6 months,though brakes working fine.about a month ago,brake fluid has slow leak and pperiodically red brake light appears but disappears as soon as you...

the red brake light tells you you are low on fluid or that your parking brake is engaged....the abs light tells you your anti lock braking system is malfunctioning. get the car up to 40mph and SLAM on the brake pedal. the pedal should pulsate and the wheels should as well. if the wheels lock up and you slide to a stop, your antilockbrake system is malfunctioning and you should have a certified mechanic check it out......tires plus and midas both do free brake inspections.......

2001 pontiac sunfire abs and check engine light is on. brake fluid is full and the front brakes were just changed about a month ago.

I think these lights are not related. The ABS light means the ABS is not working, and has nothing to do with the brakes working. You can have brakes and not have the ABS part working. I don't think a bad ABS would turn on the check engine light, but it may.

Abs brake light stays on

There is no ABS brake light. Take the vehicle back to whatever service center/garage did the brake work and tell them to fix it.

Abs & Brake light on.

I have found that the wheel sensors for the abs system get very dirty and cause the abs warning light to come on. You can try to clean them if you have the tools to take them off but usually you just want to replace them.

Your brake warning light and your rear braking problem may be caused by the same problem,
the cable sticking. Good luck!
