What does it mean when the ABS light is on the dashboard?
1 Answers
When the ABS light is displayed on the dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During startup, the ABS indicator light will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds as the system performs a self-check, and it should automatically turn off afterward. When you rapidly press the brake pedal to the floor while driving, the ABS will activate, causing the light to illuminate, and it will turn off once you release the brake. If the ABS system malfunctions, it is advisable not to continue driving. You can rely on the conventional braking system to proceed to a repair shop as soon as possible. While driving, ensure you reduce speed, maintain a steady pace, and avoid aggressive driving.
