ABS warning light is on in Farmington Hills, MI
The ABS light means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off after detecting a fault — often a wheel-speed sensor. Your normal brakes still work, but anti-lock and traction control won't help in a hard or slippery stop, so get it checked.

ABS only — drive gently and book service
With just the ABS light on, your standard brakes still stop the car. You lose anti-lock assistance, so leave extra room and get it diagnosed soon.
⚠️ Safety first
Anti-lock braking is off while this light is on. Avoid hard braking on wet or loose surfaces where wheels can lock.
- 1Brake earlier and leave more following distance, especially in the rain.
- 2In a hard stop, avoid slamming the pedal — without ABS the wheels can lock.
- 3Try restarting the car once parked; a sensor glitch sometimes clears.
- 4Book an ABS diagnostic soon, or request a tow if the brake light also appears.
ABS + brake light — treat as urgent
The ABS light with the red brake light (or a strange pedal) can mean a bigger braking-system fault. Don't take chances with brakes — get a tow.
⚠️ Safety first
The ABS and red brake light together can signal reduced braking. If the pedal is soft, stop and request a tow immediately.
- 1Slow down and get off the road as soon as it's safe.
- 2Test the pedal gently at low speed — if it's soft or sinking, do not drive.
- 3Check that the parking brake is fully released.
- 4Request a tow to a repair shop.
