Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on briefly when the engine is started. Enhanced Traction System Indicator/Warning Light For vehicles with the Enhanced Traction System (ETS), this light will serve as an indicator and warning light. 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, your vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, your vehicle does not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-33. For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-44 for all brake related DIC messages. 3-34 This indicator/warning light should come on briefly as you start the engine. If the indicator/warning light does not come on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the indicator/warning light is on and not flashing, the ETS system may have been disabled. Check all related Driver Information Center (DIC) messages to determine whether the system has been turned off or if the system is not working properly and your vehicle requires service. If the ETS has been disabled, wheel spin will not be limited. If the indicator/warning light is on and flashing, the ETS is actively working. The LOW TRACTION DIC message will also appear when the system is actively limiting wheel spin. See Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on page 4-9 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-44 for more information.
