just got this car @ the end of july - love it - the light in the middle of the brake lights on the dash reads "anti-lock" just lit up today for what seems like no reason-. i had the oil changed and about 15 mins later it started this afternoon. it stays off when i first start the car and comes on a few mins later --any suggestions ? i LOVE this car- !!! anything i should know about ?
You can check the ABS fluid reservoir to see if it is low on brake fluid. If not then you need to have it checked at a qualified repair shop. The ABS system will not work when the light is on but the cars normal braking system will continue to work correctly so the car is safe to drive. Good luck!
--------------------- larry, I'm pretty sure that your PARK BRAKE light in the dash is burnt out, and your park brake is not seated all the way to the floor. This will trigger a fault in the ABS diagnostic, to warn you that you're about to smoke your back brakes. It takes a few second to come on because, otherwise, every time you used your park brake while stopped at an up-hill traffic light, you'd get an ABS warning as well as a Park Brake light. Suggest you should read your owner's manual where it explains how to test your dash lights. There's some interesting stuff in there. Let us know what you find . . . . .
