The yellow ABS lamp on the instrument panel stays on after the engine starts and the vehicle is moving. What does this mean?
- A.The ABS is working harder than usual
- B.The lamp is a reminder to test the brakes weekly
- C.The antilock system has a malfunction, though normal brakes still work
- D.The vehicle has no brakes at all and must be towed
Correct answer
C. The antilock system has a malfunction, though normal brakes still work
Why
A steady ABS lamp means the antilock function has a fault and may not prevent wheel lockup, but the foundation brakes still operate normally. Drive with extra care and have the system repaired as soon as practical.
