Frequently asked questions
2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium shown

When the amber ABS light or red brake light remains illuminated on a Ford Fusion Hybrid, the anti-lock system may be switched off, the parking brake may be applied, brake fluid may be low, or the hydraulic system may have a fault, so a soft pedal, a red light, or both lights together means the sedan should not be driven until the brake system is inspected, while normal braking may remain when only the ABS light is on, though the wheels can lock during a hard stop, making prompt diagnosis important for drivers across all model years.

​​Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, Arizona, provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for Ford Fusion Hybrid vehicles.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ford Fusion Hybrid

An amber ABS light that stays on after the vehicle starts means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off. Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. The red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, has a different meaning: it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, the brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn brake pads or a leak. A red light with a soft pedal requires immediate attention, and the vehicle should not be driven when both lights are on or when the red light appears with a soft pedal.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The inspection begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The brake system diagnosis also includes testing the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings. Brake fluid level and condition are inspected, along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process helps trace the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, pad wear, or another brake-system concern rather than relying on guesswork. Drivers noticing a persistent amber ABS light, red BRAKE light, unusual pedal travel, or wheel lock during a hard stop can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.
