Ok there's the numbers. To figure out what the hell that means you have to look at the inside of the cover to the fuse box. left side of dash panel. Good luck.

check fuses..If the fuse blows the light comes on and the ABS system is not working..Or possible the abs motor is shot. In any rate it is a good idea to look into it as soon as possible. You ABS system is not working. You still have brakes but the anti lock system that prevents skids will not work

dash light fuse and back feed through a bulb

most common failure is the flasher module which is located in the center of the dash. it is also the hazard light switch above the radio. the module gets a bad contact in it and makes the signal lights work without having to turn them on.

ABS pump went bad.

replace the turn signal switch fuse.if they dont work after replacing fuse.check to see if switch getting power if yes replace turn signal switch.if not you have a electrical problem.you have to remove the center cluster.like the radio.to reach the hazzard switch.besure to turn off radio. disconnect negative battery cable.wait 20 minutes let air bags discharge.when working on instrument cluster or steering wheel area.air bags has to be disable.

check other fuses.

My GMC Dealer said that the problem is caused by a short in the ignition/electrical system. (seems to be a problem for many). He also said that the ABS will NOT actually work while the light is on! All my dash warning lights, radio/clock, and sometimes even ignition(turning key) have problems. The car is drivable but not working correctly. Short term solution: turn key ON, wait 10-15 min, turn off for a few minutes to 'reset' and then try to turn car on. Worked for me yesterday. Good Luck!

use a scanner to check the abs system . most of the time the abs brakes and traction control system work together. your cruise control . unit has a servo motor .in front right fender well. check the fuse and relay also the cruise control brake release switch. and the brake light switch.if all is good you have a cruise control module problems. dealer ship job.

ur brain in the car needs to be reset if that does not work u might have to replace ur abs system u can take ur car to a local auto zone or advance auto and they can reset it and see if there is a error code with the light also some times the longer the light stays on or refuses to reset says there is a problem with u abs system
