What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Volkswagen Eos

An amber ABS light that remains on after startup means the anti-lock system has switched itself off, most often because of a wheel-speed sensor fault. Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. A red BRAKE light, or a red circle with an exclamation point, that stays illuminated with the parking brake released may indicate low brake fluid or a hydraulic system fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. When both lights are on, or when the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson

The ABS and brake light service begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection includes testing the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and tone rings, along with checking brake fluid level and condition. Brake pad wear and the parking brake switch are also examined. This process traces the warning to a sensor, fluid, pads, or another named brake-system concern rather than relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson for a focused inspection.
