GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

Your vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS).


Object Number: 807057  Size: A1

This light will come on when your engine is started and may stay on for several seconds. This is normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to off. If the light comes on and the chime sounds when you are driving, pull your vehicle over to a safe location and stop as soon as possible. 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 antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you do not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light earlier in this section.

The ABS warning light will come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. This 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.
