    ABS / Anti lock brake warning.

    The antilock braking system (ABS) uses several different sensors, motors, and a  computer in 
    conjunction with the normal braking system of your car.

    The ABS regulates the brake pressure in order to reduce the chance of wheel lockup.  Reduced wheel 
    lock-up improve your control of the vehicle during  braking on slippery pavement.

    Improved stability and steering enable for greater control of the vehicle in the  case of an abrupt stop.
    The ABS operation is available from approx. 3 mph to the maximum vehicle speed.



    warning light means a problem was detected, and the system needs to be  scanned for codes in order find out the area the fault is in. With the light on,  ABS operation is not present, but normal braking is.

    The Traction Control System is controlled by the ABS system. http://www.greatautohelp.com/lights/abs.html
