it means there's a problem with your braking system. Might be a bad wheel sensor. Ur antilock break system would not work with that light on. Since u bought it brand new, take it back to the dealership to fix it, u are still on warranty.

Simple. Carry out a scan of your abs system and that should point you to what is wrong.

Antilock Braking System (ABS) is a technology that prevents the wheels from getting locked in case of emergency braking. With ABS there's no need to pump the brake pedal, all u need do is press the brake hard and the computer will do the rest. This way u still have control over the vehicle and u can still swerve with ease because the wheels are not locked.

Without ABS, at high speed and need for emergency brake, the wheels will get locked when the brake is pressed hard thereby making the driver lose control over the vehicle. Once wheels are locked, there's no way to control the vehicle, this leads to accidents. Many cars on Nigeria roads have this ABS light on and they are ignored because most mechanics don't even understand what it is. Pls watch the videos attached and have a better understanding

If you bought a brand new vehicle a week ago, you should not be on Nairaland asking for help with a problem.
Since they have an office in PH, it is not for you to ask if you can take it there, it is your right to demand it.
Abi na half price you pay? smiley

@zim drill, I believe u understand how abs works as I've been following ur thread. When I say pump I mean pressing the brake and releasing it several times in case of emergency braking to prevent the wheels from getting locked. No human being can press and release the brake many times within seconds, that is where abs comes in place. In pre abs era, drivers are taught to pump their brakes in case of emergency to prevent wheels from locking. But since the invention of abs, in case of emergency braking, drivers are advices to press the brake hard and keep their legs on the brake while controlling the car and let abs do its job. If a car does not have abs, or faulty abs, during emergency braking, even if the brake is pumped the wheels will still get locked depending on the speed the car is moving.

It's not normal to have a warning lamp illuminated in any car. That's why it's called a warning lamp.

Don't you read your Owner's Manual? And who are they?
