Antilock Indicator

The EBCM/EBTCM lights the amber ANTILOCK indicator (located in the instrument panel cluster) when an ABS malfunction is detected. The ANTILOCK indicator informs the driver that a condition exists which partially or totally inhibits ABS functions.

Important: Illumination of the amber ANTILOCK indicator without the brake warning lamp illuminated indicates only that antilock braking is no longer available. Power assisted braking without antilock braking is still available. Use procedures in this section for diagnosing ANTILOCK indicator conditions.

When the ANTILOCK indicator is illuminated, but the BRAKE warning lamp is not illuminated, normal power assisted braking is still available.
When both the BRAKE and the ANTILOCK indicators are illuminated, something is causing a low fluid condition in the brake hydraulic system.

Important: When the vehicle is equipped with traction control, any symptom which lights the ANTILOCK indicator also lights the TRACTION OFF indicator. When both indicators are on, follow the ANTILOCK indicator diagnosis.
