The vehicle brakes may not perform as expected. Avoid high speed driving and abrupt braking. An indication that EBD has failed is due to the ABS and brake warning lights coming on together. EBD helps to improve vehicle stopping ability. The system uses the ABS to determine the correct amount of pressure to apply. Faults are usually due to ABS wheel speed sensors.ĭescription: EBD stands for Electronic Brake Force Distribution and is responsible for applying brake pressure on individual wheels.
Have system checked as soon as possible to restore these safety features. If the ABS warning light comes on, normal brake will continue to work as usual. ABS, or 'anti-locking braking system' is an additional braking safety system to help improve vehicle control whilst braking in an emergency situation. In certain locations an alternative brake warning light may be usedĭescription: As with the warning lights above, normal working should see the ABS warning light coming on for about 3 seconds before going out when the ignition is set to 'on'. If any leaks are found or if the brake warning light remains on even after adding fluid, do not continue to drive. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification and top up ensuring you do not exceed the MAX mark.Ĭheck brake fluid levels periodically and clean the area around the cap before removing the cap to avoid contaminationĬheck for any leaks in the brake system. In this instance, stop as soon as safely possible and check the brake fluid reservoir. If the parking brake is fully released but the warning light remains on, it means the brake fluid level is low. The brake warning light may come on for the following reasons:
If the warning light stays on or comes on while driving, there's a fault with the SRS (supplemental restraint system).ĭescription: With the ignition or engine start stop button set to 'on', the brake warning light comes on for about 3 seconds then goes out. Description: The airbag warning light illuminate for about 6 second, then goes off when the ignition switch or engine start stop button is paced into the 'on' position.
