Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on December 17, 2020
A red dash "ABS" indicator is lit. I am assuming that an electrical measurement is taken and it is ‘out of band’ (tolerance). What exactly is measured? Fluid level? Position? Pressure? Temperature?
A red ABS warning light has no different meaning from an orange or yellow warning light.
The warninght light can turn on for a few reasons:
When the brake fluid level is low, this will not throw an ABS warning light, but a brake warning light instead.
If the ABS warning light is on, the brake will continue to work normally, but the ABS may not be working, meaning the car might become unsteerable when braking hard or in slippery conditions.
I recommend you check the fuse and inspect the wheel speed sensors. Check if the wires are all connected and not broken or and clean the sensors. If that didn't solve the problem, it will most likely have to do with the ABS module
