    There is something wrong with the braking system. That is what the ABS symbol represents.

    If you attach an ABS code reader, the problem could be any number of things:

    . Low brake fluid level--add only ABS approved fluid, such as Valvoline. Brake fluid should be changed every 2 years.

    . Dirty or bad sensor (clean with a rag and WD-40). Remove sensor on each wheel, using a Torx E8 socket.

    . Faulty sensor wire or connector.

    . Dirty tone ring--wash with a hose.

    . Faulty modulator--requires professional repair. Not changing the fluid regularly can lead to corrosion and dirt in the modulator and internal reservoir. Repairs can be steep.
