The ABS warning lamp

must light up briefly after the ignition is switched on and should
then goes out after starting off. If it does not go out after starting off, or if it lights up while
the vehicle is in motion, this indicates a fault in the ABS system. In this case, the ABS is
no longer active and the wheels may lock during full brake application. The brake system
itself remains functional but without the added ABS control.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the speeds of the front and rear wheels differ
from each other under extreme riding conditions, such as during wheelies or when the rear
wheel spins. This switches off the ABS.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition. ABS is reactivated when
the vehicle is switched back on. The ABS warning lamp goes out after the vehicle starts off.
