Volkswagen Eos ABS and Brake Light in Avondale, AZ

On a Volkswagen Eos, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light or a circle with an exclamation point can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault; normal braking may remain with the ABS light alone, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop, and the vehicle should not be driven when both lights are on or when a red light appears with a soft pedal.

Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale in Avondale, AZ, provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for Volkswagen Eos drivers who need the warning traced to the braking system.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Volkswagen Eos

An amber ABS light that stays on after startup means the anti-lock system has switched itself off. The service diagnosis checks for a wheel-speed sensor fault, while normal braking remains but the wheels may lock during a hard stop. A red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, that remains illuminated with the parking brake released can mean low brake fluid or a hydraulic system fault; low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. If both lights appear together, or the red light is accompanied by a soft pedal or a pedal that travels farther than usual, the Volkswagen Eos should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale

The diagnosis begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection also tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings associated with those sensors. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process helps trace the warning to a sensor, the fluid, or the pads rather than guessing at the cause. Volkswagen Eos drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale for an ABS and brake system inspection.
