When you turn your vehicle on, it is normal for the anti-lock brake system (ABS) to turn on, but it should immediately disappear. If it doesn't then your vehicle is telling you that there is an issue.
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of braking systems, your normal braking system, and your anti-lock brake system. Your ABS is meant to prevent skidding when braking and is reliant on your normal braking system to be working properly.
What if the ABS indicator light remains lit on your dashboard? What does it mean?
Although you can still drive when the ABS light displays, you should know that it usually means that a hydraulic pump or valve is not adequately working, lacking data.
You definitely need to have this looked at, even if it turns out that it was a false report and more of a technical miscalculation. It is better to keep your vehicle constantly up-to-par to keep you safe.
However, if your braking system indicator and ABS light indicator both display at the same time, it is not safe to continue driving and you should stop driving immediately and call a tow truck.
Hopefully, this answers your questions about the ABS light that displays on your dashboard and would recommend having it get looked at by a mechanic.
