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
  1. 1Normal braking is unaffected — you can still drive carefully to a shop
  2. 2Increase following distance and brake earlier than usual, especially on wet roads
  3. 3Most common cause: a wheel speed sensor failure (~$100–$300 to fix)
  4. 4Scan for codes — ABS codes typically start with C (chassis)
