Abs warning light means that something is wrong with the abs system.. usually this is the abs sensor which needs to be replaced.. If when driving the car u find the brakes dont work as they used to its cause of this.. the abs sensor determines how fast and hard the brakes need to hold for a smooth stop..

in the fuse panel under the hood ,, locate and remove the abs fuse.. this will disable the abs system.. drive the car and you will see how the brakes hold differently,, (much faster and harder,, its like a manual braking system),, once you replace the abs sensor you will be fine and the light will go off..

SOURCE: the ABS anti lock warning light is on

Could be as simple as low fluid level in the master cylinder. Check that first and then if it is not low or filling it and making a few starts and stops does not kill the light then stop by your local parts store and they will read your codes for free and tell you what the problem is. Free is good, bad brakes is bad, but hopefully it is just the fluid level.

ABS and Traction Control alert light stays on

Today, most new vehicles come with either an ABS or a traction control system. A problem in the ABS or traction control system is usually indicated by a warning light. When the ABS warning light is on, it means that the ABS has been shut down because of a mechanical or electrical failure.

Abs light has come on saab93

THE ABS WARNING LIGHT HAS COME UP

It means there is an issue with the anti lock braking system (ABS). If the warning light has come up it is likely that the ABS is no longer functioning. It is still safe to drive the car and it will brake as normal but the anti lock safety feature will not operate.

You need to have it checked out for faults. The most likely cause is a failed ABS wheel speed sensor which needs to be replaced. There could alternatively be a problem with the ABS pump which is causing the warning.

There is one item you can check yourself. There is a dedicated fuse for the ABS pump/motor. Check the owner's manual and locate the fuse for the ABS motor and check that the fuse has not blown. If it has blown replace it with a fuse of the correct amperage and road test the car. (So if it is a 40 amp fuse for example, make sure a 40 amp fuse is used to replace it.)

Cheers

Meaning of ABS light

On vehicles equipped with antilock brakes (ABS), a second warning light is provided to warn if a problem occurs within the ABS system. The ABS lamp comes on when the ignition is turned on for a bulb check, then goes out after the engine starts. If the ABS warning light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates a fault has occurred in the ABS system.

What happens next depends on the nature of the fault. On most applications, the ABS system disables itself if the ABS warning light comes on and remains on.

T reg renault megane.ABS light and serv light on dashboard are staying on,are the 2 linked or is it 2 seperate problems.can i still drive the car with both dashboard lights on.

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.

ABS light on & brake warning light on. ABS not working.

check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. if full, try poking the float back to the surface. sometimes it sticks sunk. the abs light will always illuminate when the red brake light is on if your vehicle is equip t with abs. it means the abs system is inactive.

Abs light on and brake light blinks

This is indicating a fualt with the abs and braking system. Volkswagon is very proprietary and a trip to the dealer may be nesssary. If you look in your owners manual it will tell you what all of the warning lights on your dashboard mean. I would also check your battery, if your battery is not putting out optimal voltage for this car then it will play all sorts of havoc with your warning system by throwing false warning and such. My 07 passat did the same thing, I would get in the car and every warning light on the dash would light up like a christmas tree and then go off a little while later. I replaced the battery and I never had a problem again.

Abs light came on, then after 50-60 miles it went back off? is this a pre-warning light or what. 2001 dodge grand caravan se

it is not a "pre warning light", the fact the light went out just means whatever the fault was has corrected itself, this is common on ABS systems, most times it is a dirty wheel speed sensor at one of the 4 wheels.

My ABS light is coming on what does that mean?

1. check and make sure that your tires are inflated to the correct pressure

2. turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch (think the switch is in the glovebox, but not sure) until the warning light turns off and then release the switch.

3. now press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the low tire pressure warning light blinks three times.

4. initialization is *not* completed until driving at the vehicle speed of 19 mph or over for more than one hour. the tire pressure monitoring starts when initialization is completed.



As for the ABS light, that means your antilock brake system has detected an issue such as a block sensor, or a faulty relay, etc.. when this light is on, it means that your abs may not engage when it should, or may engage when it shouldn't.
