Anti-lock Brake system (ABS)

The ABS warning lamp is controlled by the ABS ECU and the instrument pack software. The lamp illuminates briefly in an amber color when the ignition is moved to position II. If the lamp remains illuminated or illuminates when driving, a fault with the ABS system has occurred.

If the vehicle battery has been disconnected, the ABS will be deactivated and the warning lamp will remain illuminated at ignition on when the battery is reconnected. The ABS can be reactivated by driving the vehicle a short distance or by turning the steering fully from lock to lock with the engine running. Reactivation is indicated by the warning lamp extinguishing.
