Frequently asked questions
2014 Ram C/V Tradesman shown

On the Ram C/V Tradesman, 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. When both lights stay on, or the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria helps drivers identify whether the warning points to a wheel-speed sensor, its wiring or tone ring, brake fluid, pad wear, the parking brake switch, or another hydraulic concern. The ABS and brake light service begins with a scan and inspection so the warning can be traced rather than guessed at.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ram C/V Tradesman

An amber ABS light that remains on after startup indicates that the anti-lock system has switched itself off. 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 low brake fluid or a hydraulic system fault; it may also indicate that the parking brake is applied. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, increased pedal travel, or wheels that lock in a hard stop requires prompt attention. If both lights are illuminated, or the red light appears with 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 diagnosis includes a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes.

This process helps connect the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, worn pads, or another identified brake-system concern. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a focused inspection of the warning lights and braking system.
