The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to
provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor
makes a low humming noise during operation. This is
normal.
When you are in a severe braking condition involving
use of the ABS, you will experience some pedal drop as
the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This is the result of
the system reverting to the base brake system and is
normal.
Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied by a
pulsing sensation in the brake pedal. You may also hear
a clicking noise. These occurrences are normal, and
indicate that the system is functioning.
ABS Warning Light
The ABS includes an amber warning light, located in the
instrument cluster. When the light is illuminated, the ABS
is not functioning. The system reverts to standard non-
anti-lock brakes.
WARNING!
Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their
effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping
makes the stopping distance longer. Just press firmly
on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or
stop.
