Frequently asked questions
2017 Volkswagen e-Golf Sel Premium shown

On a Volkswagen e-Golf, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock system has switched itself off, while a red brake light can signal an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault. Drivers in Avondale can turn to Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale for an ABS and brake light inspection on this Volkswagen hatchback. The visit helps identify whether the warning relates to a wheel-speed sensor, its wiring or tone ring, brake fluid, pad wear, the parking brake switch, or another hydraulic concern named by the warning. With both lights illuminated, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Volkswagen e-Golf

An amber ABS light that remains on after startup indicates that the anti-lock braking 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 circle with an exclamation point, that stays on with the parking brake released may indicate low brake fluid or a hydraulic system fault; it can also mean the parking brake is applied. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, greater pedal travel, or wheels that lock in a hard stop calls for immediate 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 Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale

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, along with their wiring and tone rings, to help trace an amber ABS warning. Brake fluid level and condition are checked, along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps separate an anti-lock system concern from a fluid, pad, parking brake, or hydraulic issue instead of relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale for a focused inspection of the warning lights.
