ABS Indicator - Description

DESCRIPTION





An Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the top of the cluster overlay, between the speedometer and the multi-function indicator display. On vehicles equipped with the optional steering wheel buttons, illumination of this indicator may also be accompanied by the display of certain textual messages in the cluster multi-function display.

The ABS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
