ABS Light: Description and Operation

INDICATORS
The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) continuously monitors itself and the other ABS components. If the EBCM detects a problem with the system, the amber ABS indicator will light continuously to alert the driver to the problem. An illuminated ABS indicator indicates that the ABS system has detected a problem that affects the operation of ABS. No antilock braking will be available. Normal, non-antilock brake performance will remain. In order to regain ABS braking ability, the ABS must be serviced.
The red BRAKE indicator will be illuminated when the system detects a low brake fluid level in the master cylinder or when the parking brake switch is closed (the parking brake is engaged) or EBD system is disabled.

Warning: EBD indicator lamp wiring is connected to the parking brake lamp. If the parking brake lamp is turned on when you driving, checking on whether the parking brake lever is engaged or the brake fluid level is low. If the system has no problem, the EBD system is working improperly. The EBD system must be serviced.
