98 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL standard non-anti-lock brakes. If this occurs, safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop as soon as possible and cycle the ignition key to attempt to reset the ABS. If the light remains on, see your authorized dealer immediately to have the system serviced. Furthermore, if the red BRAKE warning light and the amber ABS warning light are on, and the parking brake is fully released, see your authorized dealer immediately. (See page 147 for more information.) Malfunction Indicator Light This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD. The OBD system monitors engine control systems. The light will turn on when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the light does not come on when turning the key from OFF/LOCK to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light remains on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. The Malfunction Indicator Light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. (See page 195 for more information.) WARNING! If the ABS and/or Brake Warning lights illuminate, please seek service immediately! Your vehicle will have diminished braking capability and control if ABS and/or service brake systems are not working properly. Have your brake system serviced immediately.
