ABS Warning Indicator

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator is an amber colored indicator located between the coolant temperature gage and the fuel level gage.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator is continuously illuminated if there is a fault that affects anti-lock brake system (ABS) performance or causes the anti-lock brake system (ABS) function to be disabled.

Operation of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator is controlled by a high speed controller area network (CAN) bus message from the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module to the instrument cluster.

When the ignition switch is first turned to position II, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if a fault is stored in the memory of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator goes off for 0.5 second, 0.5 second after the start of the bulb check. If a fault during the previous ignition cycle caused the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator to be illuminated, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator may remain illuminated after the next bulb check, even if the fault has been rectified and cleared from the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module; the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator remains illuminated until vehicle speed reaches 15-20 km/h (9.5-12.5 mph) while additional checks of the related inputs are performed.
