ABS Light: Description and Operation

Warning Lamp Indicators
The anti-lock brake system uses one yellow ABS warning indicator to alert the driver of malfunctions in the system.
The yellow ABS warning indicator will illuminate for numerous reasons. It warns the driver that the ABS and traction control have been turned off due to a symptom that exists in the system. Normal power assisted braking remains but the wheels can lock during a panic stop while the yellow ABS warning indicator is illuminated.
The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), system will only function if the anti-lock brake system is operational. If there is an ABS fault, the EBD system is disabled and the brake warning indicator and the ABS warning indicator will illuminate.
The traction control indicator will flash when TC activates while the vehicle is being driven. The traction control indicator will remain illuminated if the driver turns TC off or if there is a fault in the TC system.
