Antilock Brake System
Warning Light
For vehicles with
the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this
light will come on
briefly when you
start the engine.
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, you still have brakes, but you do
not have antilock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, you do not have antilock
brakes and there is a problem with your 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 3-49 for
all brake related DIC messages.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
Your vehicle has a
Traction Control
System (TCS)
and StabiliTrak
®
warning light.
When the traction control is activated the light will
flash when the TCS is limiting wheel spin or when the
StabiliTrak
®
system is active. You may feel or hear
the system working, but this is normal. This light may
also come on after extended heavy braking indicating
the brakes have become too hot to limit wheel spin.
This light will come on and stay on if the TCS is turned
off using the traction control on/off button, located
next to the gear shift lever.
If the TCS warning light comes on and stays on for
an extended period of time when the system is turned
on, your vehicle needs service. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak
®
System
on page 4-7 for more information.
