Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The “Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light” monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The

light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position and may stay on for as long as four

seconds.
If the “ABS Warning Light” remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the

brake system is not functioning and that service is

required. However, the conventional brake system will

continue to operate normally if the “Brake Warning

Light” is not on.
If the “ABS Warning Light” is on, the brake system

should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “ABS Warning Light”

does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position, have the bulb repaired as soon as

possible.
If both the “Brake Warning Light” and the “ABS Warning

Light” remain on, the ABS and EBD systems are not

functioning. Immediate repair to the ABS system is

required.

Traction Control System (TCS)

This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each

driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is

applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is

reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability.
A feature of the TCS system, Brake Limited Differential

(BLD), controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one

wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other,

the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel.

This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the

wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active
