It means that for the time that the ABS light is on, your ABS system should be inspected. If it flashes, then it means you have brakes but your anti-lock function will not operate.

My 1998 dodge Dakota when , stopped with foot on the brake surged forward. Not a lot but concerning. Has done this twice, and also previously the ABS and brake light came on days earlier. No lights wh

I'd get your brakes checked out. Check for abs trouble codes. I know some of the national brand auto stores will check po codes for free, not sure about abs codes?

That sounds dangerous to me, get it checked out. Till you get it fixed, set your parking brake when you stop, that should help.

Symbol, ABS

ABS stands for "Anti Lock Brake System" if the light is on you need the system scanned by the dealer for the fault code in the memory of the control module.

Bad brake master cylinder could cause this, It will start leaking internally and not build up pressure. Will happen just do to age, will need to replace it and bleed brake system.

My ABS light and check engine light comes on and

You could check a couple of things. There are a couple of connectors in the back of the instrument cluster, check for connection. Maybe a bad ground.

The Gen II caravans had other bizarre issues with the BCM. Chrysler did issue some TSBs concerning some of the. Some would include the HVAC controls not working, the wipers not working or doing whatever they want to, no horn, and other things that may make you believe that your car is possessed, as I have come to suspect. The BCM also controls the instrument cluster and can do some bizarre things there as well.

Car: 2005 dodge caravan. Problem: Trying to start, all the dashboard lights will light-up, but the car will not start. Jumping does not change this behavior. Then today it started again.

If the solenoid clicks it could be worn contacts inside the solenoid. They feed current to the starting motor and when they get worn they sometimes will not make contact.
