ABS Light: Description and Operation

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lamp located on the instrument cluster will turn on when the CAB detects a condition which results in a shutdown of the ABS function.

The ABS warning lamp will turn on for approximately four-five seconds after the ignition key is switched to the ON position. During this time the CAB runs a system self test.

The Anti-Lock Warning lamp is used to alert the driver of a problem in the Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) system. When the ABS controller recognizes a problem in the system, it grounds the G19 circuit, which illuminates the lamp.
