Abs, Abs Active & Brake Warning Lights

Amber ABS, Blue ABS ACTIVE and Red BRAKE warning lights are located on instrument panel. When ignition is turned on, ABS and ABS ACTIVE lights will illuminate for about 3 seconds. The Red BRAKE warning light will quickly flash on also. As engine is cranked, Red BRAKE light and Amber ABS light should illuminate steady. Both lights should be off 3-4 seconds after engine is started.

Red BRAKE light will stay on if parking brake is on, brake fluid is low, or when ignition is on and engine is off. EBCM will also turn Red BRAKE light on when an ABS malfunction could interfere with normal brake operation. Since brake pedal feedback normally associated with ABS operation does not occur with ABS-VI, Blue ABS ACTIVE light will come on when vehicle is involved in an ABS stop. If Amber ABS light stays on, a malfunction is present in ABS system. If Amber ABS light flashes, ABS malfunction is affecting normal brake operation and EBCM cannot turn Red BRAKE light on. Anti-lock braking function will be disabled until system is repaired.
