What does the anti-lock warning light indicate in a Buick Regal?

The anti-lock warning light in a Buick Regal indicates a fault in the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Here are specific details about the ABS: 1. The advantage of ABS is that it continuously applies and releases brake pressure, functioning similarly to mechanical 'pump braking'. 2. There are various control methods for the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

I've been driving a Buick Regal for several years, and when the anti-lock light comes on, it means there's an issue with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). When the light is on, it indicates the system might be malfunctioning, causing the brakes to skid. Common causes include dirty or damaged wheel sensors, especially after long drives or rainy weather when sensors can get covered in dust; poor wiring connections leading to false alarms; or a faulty ABS pump. Once the light comes on, drive slowly and avoid sudden braking to prevent accidents. It's best to pull over and check the brake performance—if it's still functional, head to a professional auto repair shop as soon as possible, especially for Buick models where the sensor placement is quite sensitive. Don’t underestimate this—I once ignored the light and ended up with locked wheels during an emergency stop, nearly causing an accident.
