system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds.

comes on again.

warning light is off), the anti−lock brake system, the brake
assist system, the active traction control system and/or the
vehicle stability control system do/does not operate, but the
brake system still operates conventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti−lock brake system does not
operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden

to the “ON” position or remains on.

but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
