ABS Warning Light

ABS Warning Light

Caution warning

An ABS warning light means the anti-lock braking system may not be working properly. Normal braking may still feel fine, but the extra ABS protection in low-grip or emergency braking situations may be reduced.

Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?

Normal braking may still work, but anti-lock protection in wet, icy or emergency stops may be reduced — drive with extra caution and book diagnosis promptly. If the ABS light appears with the brake warning light, spongy pedal or grinding noise, treat it as higher priority. Aaron reads ABS fault codes, inspects wheel-speed sensors and wiring — common failures on Shropshire roads after corrosion or knocks — and checks whether mechanical brake wear is triggering the warning. Clearing the light without fixing the cause is pointless; the system will flag again. Mobile visits cover your drive or workplace within roughly thirty miles of Wem. Call or WhatsApp with whether the light is constant, which wheels recently had work, and any related brake symptoms. Seasonal pothole damage often affects sensor wiring at the wheel arches and is worth mentioning when you call.

What to do next

Drive with extra care and book a diagnostic as soon as possible, especially if the light appears with other brake warnings.
