The ABS wheel sensor sends a signal that the car might be in trouble. If the car is sliding or feels like it might spin out of control, the brakes are automatically cut on.Ê
Take the car to a trusted garage to have the abs brakes fixed.
Almost every car nowadays come with a turning signal. If you do not have a turning signal, a legal way to signal that you are going to turn would be to stretch out your hand in the direction that you are turning to. Otherwise, you can install two lights (flashing or not) on the two corners of your car. Link it to the buttons near the driver's seat for convenience, and press the button to activate the lights as a signal.
Small red flashing light near the radio console? That would be the anti=theft system...or fake car alarm signal. I have it on the 2005, and my mom has it on her 2007.
Take it to a qualified mechanic for an ABS diagnostic or spent $2000 in parts hoping one will fix it
Yes you can rely on the brakes to stop you without ABS, however the braking distance will be greater and the car is will skid if the brakes are used hard. If your ABS isn't working take it to a car garage and get it fixed.
Yes, you can still drive the car. The light indicates there is a problem with the ABS. Your conventional brake system will still work. But do, check your master cylinder to make sure you are not low of brake fluid. If you notice anything out of the ordinary with the normal brake system stop driving and have it repaired. Know that your ABS may or may not function in an emergency.
It could be the key if the security or anti-theft light is flashing. If it is flashing than either the key is not sending a signal or the lock cylinder PK3 receiver is not receiving a signal.
There may be a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake system. Check the fluid level. If it comes back on, take it to a professional.
The flashing light is warning you that something is going wrong inside your engine, or steering system, or brakes, or anything else. It can not be safe to drive with any signal light flashing (except, obviously, left and right). You have to bring in your car for a check up as soon as possible.
If your car is in warranty, take it to the dealer. If not get the computer codes read at a car part place that does it.
The ABS light will remain on and the ABS will not function.
