Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light; Your brake system may not be working properly; if the brake system warning light is on. Driving- Page 137

2-74

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See “Towing Your Vehicle” in
the Index.

CAUTION:

Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.

When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully. If you try to drive off with the parking brake set, 
a chime will also come on until you release the parking
brake. If the light stays on after your parking brake is
fully released, it means you have a brake problem.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light

With the anti

-

lock brake

system, the light(s) will
come on when your engine
is started and may stay 
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti

-

lock

brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti

-

lock brakes and there’s a

problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” earlier in this section.

The anti

-

lock brake system warning light should come

on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. 
If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it 
will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
