Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa
Ford Explorer ABS and Brake Light
Ford Explorer ABS and Brake Light service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ
On a Ford Explorer, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, while a red brake light can signal an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, provides ABS and brake light service to identify the warning's cause and inspect the braking system. The diagnosis includes scanning the anti-lock brake module, testing wheel-speed sensors and related components, and checking brake fluid, pad wear, and the parking brake switch. If both lights are illuminated, or the red light appears with a soft pedal, the Ford Explorer should not be driven until it is inspected.
Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa serves Ford Explorer drivers at 460 East Auto Center Drive in Mesa, Arizona.
What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ford Explorer
An amber ABS light that remains on after the Ford Explorer starts means the anti-lock system has switched itself off. Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. A red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, that stays on after the parking brake is released may indicate that the parking brake is applied, brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal or a pedal that travels farther than usual adds urgency. With both lights on, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.
What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa
ABS and brake light service begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection then tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings that support the system's wheel-speed readings. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps help trace the warning to a sensor, fluid issue, pad condition, or parking brake concern instead of guessing at the cause. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for an inspection of the warning lights and braking system.
