2-85 Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light will
come on when your
engine is started and may
stay on for several seconds.
That's normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you're driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you're driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn't
on, you still have brakes, but you don't have anti
-lock
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don't have anti
-lock brakes and there's a
problem with your regular brakes. See ªBrake System
Warning Lightº earlier in this section. Also see ªService
ABSº under ªDriver Information Center (DIC)
Messagesº in the Index.
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should
come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON.
If the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Traction Control System (TCS) Light
This light should come on
briefly as you start the
engine. If the light doesn't
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there's a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on and the DIC shows a
SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message when
you're driving, there's a problem with your TCS system
and your vehicle needs service. When this light is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly. If the driver turns off the Traction
Control System by pressing the button on the console,
the TCS system light will come on and the TRACTION
SYSTEM OFF message will show on the DIC.
