Frequently asked questions
2022 Ram ProMaster City Cargo shown

On a Ram ProMaster City, 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. A soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock in a hard stop requires added caution; with both lights on, or 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 Ram ProMaster City vehicles across all model years. The inspection traces the warning to the sensor, fluid, pads, parking brake switch, or related hydraulic concern rather than guessing at the cause.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Ram ProMaster City

The amber ABS light may stay on after the vehicle starts when the anti-lock braking 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 remain illuminated after the parking brake is released when the brake fluid is low or the hydraulic system has a fault; it can 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 locking in a hard stop adds urgency. If both lights are on, 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 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 to trace an anti-lock system concern. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps help identify whether the warning relates to a sensor, fluid, pads, parking brake switch, or hydraulic system instead of relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a focused inspection of the warning lights and braking system.
