Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With the anti-lock brake system, the light will come on when your engine is started and may stay on for several seconds. That is normal. Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light Your vehicle may have a traction control system warning light. The traction control system warning light may come on for the following reasons: If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the anti-lock portion of the brake system. If the red BRAKE light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have anti-lock brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-28. If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. If the light comes on when 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 anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-28. • For vehicles equipped with the traction control system and front-wheel drive, this light will come on and stay on if you turn the system off by pressing the traction control button located on the instrument panel above the audio system. To turn the system back on, press the button again. The warning light should go off. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-10 for more information. • For vehicles equipped with all-wheel-drive, this light will come on and stay on when the all-wheel-drive system is unable to protect for overheating under extended heavy all-wheel-drive usage. • If there is an engine-related and brake system problem that is specifically related to traction control, the traction control system will turn off and the warning light will come on. 3-29
