Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Warning
⚠️ Fix soonamber light
What it means
The ABS system has detected a fault and has disabled itself. Your regular brakes still work normally, but you've lost anti-lock braking — in an emergency stop, your wheels may lock up and you'll lose steering control.
What to do
- 1Normal braking is unaffected — you can still drive carefully to a shop
- 2Increase following distance and brake earlier than usual, especially on wet roads
- 3Most common cause: a wheel speed sensor failure (~$100–$300 to fix)
- 4Scan for codes — ABS codes typically start with C (chassis)
