Frequently asked questions
2027 Dodge Durango Gt Premium Hemi V8 shown

On a Dodge Durango, 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. With both lights on, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, provides ABS and Brake Light diagnosis for Dodge Durango SUVs across all model years, helping trace the warning to the braking system component involved.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Dodge Durango

The amber ABS light may remain illuminated after the Dodge Durango 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 on after the parking brake is released when the parking brake is applied, brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock in a hard stop requires attention. With both warning lights on, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria

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 tone rings. Brake fluid level and condition, pad wear, and the parking brake switch are also checked. This approach helps distinguish a wheel-speed sensor fault from a fluid, pad, parking brake, or hydraulic concern instead of guessing at the warning. Dodge Durango drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a focused inspection.
