With the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on when the engine is started and can stay on for several seconds. This is normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to LOCK. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the 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 the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light .

The ABS warning light comes on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. This 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.
