ABS Warning Indicator

The ABS warning indicator is an amber colored indicator located between the coolant temperature gage and the fuel level gage.

The ABS warning indicator is continuously illuminated if there is a fault that affects ABS performance or causes the ABS function to be disabled.

Operation of the ABS warning indicator is controlled by a high speed CAN bus message from the ABS module to the instrument cluster.

When the ignition switch is first turned to position II, the ABS warning indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if a fault is stored in the memory of the ABS module, the ABS warning indicator goes off for 0.5 second, 0.5 second after the start of the bulb check. If a fault during the previous ignition cycle caused the ABS warning indicator to be illuminated, the ABS warning indicator may remain illuminated after the next bulb check, even if the fault has been rectified and cleared from the ABS module; the ABS warning indicator remains illuminated until vehicle speed reaches 15-20 km/h (9.5-12.5 mph) while additional checks of the related inputs are performed.
