If the electronic brake force distribution
control unit determines that some
components are operating incorrectly, the
control unit may illuminate the brake
system warning light and the ABS
warning light simultaneously. The
problem is likely to be the electronic brake
force distribution system.

warning light and ABS warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the
brakes inspected as soon as possible:

Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are illuminated
simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear
wheels could lock more quickly in an
emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
