ABS Light: Description and Operation

INDICATORS
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) continuously monitors itself and the other ABS components. If the EBCM detects a problem with the system, the amber ABS indicator will light continuously to alert the driver to the problem. An illuminated ABS indicator indicates that the ABS system has detected a problem that affects the operation of ABS. No antilock braking will be available. Normal, non-antilock brake performance will remain. To regain ABS braking ability, the ABS must be serviced.
The red BRAKE indicator will be illuminated when the system detects a low brake fluid level in the master cylinder or when the parking brake switch is closed (the parking brake is engaged).
When the vehicle is equipped with traction control (TCS), there is also a TCS indicator which the EBCM will illuminate when the traction control system is active.
