← code lookup·Faults by symptom

ABS light is on

The wheel speed sensor is the usual culprit — excess air gap, dirt, a damaged tone ring. The service brakes still work, but ABS is disabled — on a slippery surface you will need to brake more carefully. The code names the axle and side directly.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: Minutes

Part of the brake circuit or ABS/EBS is out of service. The pedal may still feel normal — until the first emergency stop or descent.

Next comes longer stopping distance, a skid on a slick surface, failure on a long downgrade. This is the case where "I will take it slow" does not work.

What to check on the spot

Let the air system build to working pressure and listen for leaks. Don’t drive with faulty brakes.

Can I keep driving

The answer depends on the code, not the light. A yellow light is a warning; a red one means do not move. But even under a yellow light there are faults that require stopping right away — low oil pressure, overheating, lost brake pressure. Enter the code — the reference will tell you plainly whether to keep driving or stop.
