This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off. If the light comes on while driving,

functioning and there is a problem
with the regular brakes. See your
dealer for service.
