2027 Ram 2500 Tradesman shown

On a Ram 2500, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock system has switched itself off, while a red brake light can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault. The Ram 2500 ABS and brake light service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria helps identify whether the warning involves a wheel-speed sensor, wiring, tone ring, fluid, brake pads, parking brake switch, or another hydraulic concern named by the inspection. Drivers in Peoria, Arizona, can turn to Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria at 8665 West Bell Road for a brake-system evaluation focused on tracing the warning rather than guessing at its cause.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ram 2500

An amber ABS light that remains on after the Ram 2500 starts 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 illuminated with the parking brake released can mean the parking brake is applied, the brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn brake 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 lights on, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the Ram 2500 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 the tone rings that support their operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process helps trace the warning to a sensor, fluid, pads, or another identified brake-system concern instead of relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a focused ABS and brake light diagnosis.
