ABS light is on in my car

Hello Pamela

All questions in this category need 'year make model'. This is what Lexus say! You need to get the vehicle on a scan tool to diagnose the fault.

If both the ABS and the brake system light come on at the same time, your vehicle is no longer safe to drive. This means there is a serious problem with the car's braking system and continuing to drive puts yourself and others at risk.

abs light means u have a problem with one or more abs sensors located on the each wheel bearring or it can be one of the wheel bearring,brake light means u have to replace the emergency brakes and traction off can be a fault with the abs sensors or the abs pump but u can go to auto zone or any autoparts where tey can scan ur car for free

It means there is a fault somewhere in your abs system. While the light is on you will not have anti lock brakes. It just means you will resort to the old style of brakes before abs. It will not harm anything .but is something i would have checked out.

All the computers on the car are linked together. The ABS can trigger the service light on some applications, ie speed sensors. You can still drive, but you wont have ABS, meaning if you brake hard enough or in gravel the tires can lock up and skid.

Hello,
First this means you should not drive it until the repairs are done. Your brakes very well may not respond with both warning light indicators lit up. So one light is for your brakes and one is for your ABS system. The ABS light on means there is a malfunction in your ABS system. A sensor or something in the wiring. Now this light on alone indicates the need for a repair but the car could be driven temporarily. The ABS system makes your brakes fluctuate so "locking up" is avoided. The Oil light itself means something in your brake system is malfunctioning and hydraulic compression could be lost anytime. Both together is not good. I recommend first you check the brake fluid in your car. If it is below what it should be then this alone could set the Oil Light on. A brake light out could set your ABS light indicator on as well. So check the two things and if you are lucky this could fix each light. If not then you need to have this addressed by a auto technician as soon as possible.

Means your anti locking brake system is disable, when the ABS light is on means the ASB computer pick up a bad signal from one of your ABS sensor's, any auto parts place like autozone can do a free code reading, once you get the code get back with us here at FixYa so we can help you diag. your trouble code, also your brake will work fine it be like a car with out ABS, get it check out.

It means that the ABS control module has detected a fault. 9 times out of 10 , this is because the ABS sensors are either dirty or out of adjustment (if they are not fixed sensors ) Take it to a workshop for them to check and clean the sensors. Hope that helps

if abs light is on it means your abs system is not working properly due to disconnection of sensor of any wheel or problem with abs module but it dosn't mean that your brake will not work it will work but it will work like non abs brake , car wheel can get lock while sudden braking, don't worry but drive carefully, thanks.

the triangle is a severe caution and the abs has to do with your anti lock braking system. what this means is not that your brakes will not work but the system that prevents the brakes from locking when applied heavy is deactivated. so basically you will be brakeing like a car with no abs. this should be looked at soon just for safety reasons if you are depending on the abs but does not mean you can not not drive the car safely just with added caution. this should also be addressed by someone who KNOWS bmws and KNOWS abs systems. this could work out to be a very simple fix. cheers

it means you need to have it daignosed, you have a malfunction in the ABS brake system, could be anyone of a number of things, abs module, wheel sensors, etc...
