Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
To confirm the anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light is functional it

the ignition is moved from the ON position to the START position, the light
will momentarily illuminate just prior to reaching the START position). If
the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the ABS
serviced immediately. If the ABS light remains on, it means the anti-lock
brake system has malfunctioned and is disabled, however, the normal brake
system will still function unless the brake warning light also remains
illuminated and parking brake is off. Refer to Brakes in the Driving
chapter for more information.
