Frequently asked questions
2018 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sh Awd shown

On an Acura RLX, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault. Coggin Acura Fort Pierce provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for Acura RLX models in Fort Pierce, FL. The inspection helps identify whether the warning relates to a wheel-speed sensor, wiring, tone ring, brake fluid, pad wear, the parking brake switch, or another named part of the brake system. With both lights illuminated, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the Acura RLX should not be driven; service should be arranged promptly.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on an Acura RLX

The amber ABS light may remain on after the Acura RLX starts when the anti-lock 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, may stay illuminated with the parking brake released when the brake fluid is low or the hydraulic system has a fault. It can also indicate that the parking brake is applied. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, increased pedal travel, or wheels that lock in a hard stop requires attention. If both lights are on, or the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce

The 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 their operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process traces the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, pad wear, or another identified brake-system concern rather than relying on a guess. Drivers noticing an amber ABS light, a red BRAKE light, a soft pedal, or unusual pedal travel can schedule service at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce.
