Anti-Lock
Brake
System
Warning
Light
ABS
INOP
With the
anti-lock brake
system,
this
light will come
on when you start your
engine and it will stay
on
for
three
seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light
flashes when you’re
driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be
a
problem with your
regular
brakes.
Pull
off the road and stop carefully. You
may notice that the
pedal
is
harder
to
push. Or, the pedal
may go
closer
to
the floor.
It
may take
longer
to
stop.
Have
the
vehicle
towed for
service.
(See
“Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
Your regular
brake
system
may
not
be
working
properly
if
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light is flashing.
Driving
with
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
flashing
can
lead
to an
accident.
After
you’ve
pulled
off
the
road
and
stopped
carefully,
have
the
vehicle
towed
for
service.
If the anti-lock brake system warning light
stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re
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’re
driving, your Chevrolet needs service.
If
the light
is
on
but not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes,
but you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
The
anti-lock
brake
system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If the
light
doesn’t
come
on then,
have it fixed
so
it
will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
