Frequently asked questions
2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger shown

On the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, 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 of the Ram 1500 Ramcharger can turn to Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria for a focused ABS and brake-light diagnosis. The visit is designed to identify whether the warning traces 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. When both lights are illuminated, or when the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven until the brake system has been inspected.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ram 1500 Ramcharger

An amber ABS light that remains on after startup means the anti-lock 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 after the parking brake is released can indicate low brake fluid or a hydraulic-system fault; low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. If both lights are on, or the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven. A pedal that feels soft or travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock in a hard stop, also calls for prompt inspection.

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 the tone rings that support the anti-lock system. Brake fluid level and condition are checked alongside pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process helps trace the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, pad wear, or the brake system rather than relying on guesswork. If the red brake light is paired with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven to the appointment. Drivers can schedule service with Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.
