Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
For vehicles with the
Antilock Brake System
(ABS), this light comes on
briefly when the engine
is started.
That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light
comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as it
is safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the
engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light still
stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, your vehicle still has brakes,
but not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, your vehicle does not have
antilock brakes and there is a problem with the regular
brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on
page 3-31.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC),
see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-43 for all
brake related DIC messages.
Enhanced Traction System
Indicator/Warning Light
For vehicles with the
Enhanced Traction System
(ETS), this light will
serve as an indicator and
warning light.
This indicator/warning light should come on briefly as
you start the engine.
If the indicator/warning light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the indicator/warning light is on and not flashing, the
ETS system may have been disabled. Check all related
Driver Information Center (DIC) messages to determine
whether the system has been turned off or if the system is
not working properly and your vehicle requires service. If
the ETS has been disabled, wheel spin will not be limited.
If the indicator/warning light is on and flashing, the ETS
is actively working. The LOW TRACTION DIC
message will also appear when the system is actively
limiting wheel spin.
See Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on page 4-9 and
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-43 for more
information.
