Another type of brake light is the ABS light. ABS stands for the anti-lock braking system, which prevents the brakes from locking up the wheels or axle.
In the past, vehicles didn’t have this feature, and slamming on the brakes led to poor traction and more accidents because the wheels stopped turning completely.
If the ABS light turns on there is an issue with the vehicle’s ABS. While this can be addressed and reset at home, we recommend taking your vehicle to a professional.
