The ABS light only comes on and stays on when a problem like a failed part exists in the ABS system, the ABS control module senses this problem and it disables the ABS brakes and turns on the dash warning light, so right now you have regular brakes, no ABS. So what needs to be done? You must have the ABS control module scanned by the dealer to see what ABS fault codes are in its memory, then a trained technician will perform the necessary diagnostics and repair the system.

The brake light and ABS light comes on at the same time. What could the trouble be please?

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.

Why does my ABS light stays on and sometimes i get a vibration in the brake petal causing my 2002 Cadillac escalade not wanting to stop?

The light being on means the system has detected a problem in one or more sensors. The vibration is the ABS modulating the brakes to prevent skidding because it has detected a wheel that is locked up. That wheel is most likely the one sensor that is giving you the error.

Abs and tcs light on 2000 chevy montecarlo

The abs light comes on when a fault is detected with abs system. Your best bet is to have the abs system scanned for trouble codes. Typically loose wheel bearings, or broken abs sensor harness wires are the two most common causes for the abs light to come on.

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.

Abs light stays on and a yellow triangle warnng light

On occasion an ABS light will come on when a brake light is out. So check your brake lights first. Your ABS light is on because there is a malfunction in the ABS system. Is your brake warning light and your ABS warning light both on? This would be an indicator of a major malfunction in the ABS system. Stop driving the vehicle and fix this immemorially. If only your ABS light warning light is on this will not effect normal braking but the ABS system is disabled while the ABS warning light is on. You still need to have it repaired but you still have brakes for the moment. Now the code for this fault will be stored inside the ABS memory module. So you pinpoint this with scanner. Hope this helps

Chevy S18 P/U.....ABS Control Module wont power off ABS light stays on.

ABS light means that somehting in the ABS system is broken.

For instance, if a wheel speed sensor goes bad, the ABS light will light when the ignition is turned on and the car is started.

Have the vehicle scanned with an ABS Brake OBD-II Scanner
such as the Actron one which retails for about $100 or so plus shipping and handling.

This will give plain English explanations of what is wrong with the ABS system when you have an ABS light on in a vehicle for vehicles ranging from 1996 on up to about 2005 or so.

ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND DISENGAGES THE ABS BUT

When the ABS light is on the ABS system is deactivated. Meaning, when the abs is light is on and you brake, the tires will lock up with heavy braking.

Escapes have a common issue of the ABS excitor rings cracking causing ABS problems. Sometimes it activates on almost every brake application. It may set a code in the ABS computer for an intermitten wheel speed sensor or no wheel speed signal. Check all the "rings" on the outside of all four axleshafts. If none of the rings are cracked it is likely a bad ABS wheel speed sensor.
