Frequently asked questions
2014 Acura ILX Hybrid Technology Package shown

On the Acura ILX Hybrid, 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. The amber ABS symbol may remain illuminated after startup, and the red BRAKE light or circle with an exclamation point may stay on after the parking brake is released. Coggin Acura Fort Pierce in Fort Pierce provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for this sedan so the warning can be traced to the wheel-speed sensors, fluid, pads, parking brake switch, or hydraulic system instead of guessed at. Normal braking remains with an ABS fault, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. With both lights on, or a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Acura ILX Hybrid

The amber ABS light 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 in a hard stop. The red BRAKE light, or a red circle with an exclamation point, means the parking brake may be applied, the brake fluid may be low, or the hydraulic system may have a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A red light that stays on after the parking brake is released needs attention. If both warning lights are illuminated, or the red light appears with a soft pedal or a pedal that travels farther than usual, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce

ABS and brake light service at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce 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 associated with the anti-lock system. Brake fluid level and condition are checked, along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps help identify whether the warning relates to a sensor, fluid, pads, parking brake signal, or hydraulic concern. The service traces the warning rather than relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service with Coggin Acura Fort Pierce for an ABS and brake system inspection.
