ABS means anti lock braking system and if you have a light on for it, then maybe one of the wheel speed sensors is bad or not sending information to the abs brake module.

Anti-lock Braking System = ABS. It is a system that detects when a wheel begins to lock up when braking and in the process releases pressure on the disc to allow slow rotation and thereby ensuring maximum emergency braking effort without skidding,

I am driving a 2005 Dodge Caravan and the Abs light has come on. What doe sit mean and what should I do?

It means there is a fault somewhere in your abs system. While the light is on you will not have anti lock brakes. It just means you will resort to the old style of brakes before abs. It will not harm anything .but is something i would have checked out.

What are the symbols abs and (!) mean

this is indicative of a failure in your braking system, detected on the electronic portion. if the ABS light is on, that means the computer will have logged a code, and having the vehicle scanned is the first place to start in the diagnostic procedure. this will narrow down the area of the problem, and then the diagnostics can begin. good luck!

What does the dash light with atriangle mean and the abs one

the triangle is a severe caution and the abs has to do with your anti lock braking system. what this means is not that your brakes will not work but the system that prevents the brakes from locking when applied heavy is deactivated. so basically you will be brakeing like a car with no abs. this should be looked at soon just for safety reasons if you are depending on the abs but does not mean you can not not drive the car safely just with added caution. this should also be addressed by someone who KNOWS bmws and KNOWS abs systems. this could work out to be a very simple fix. cheers

Abs and traction control light is on dashboard what does this mean

When your ABS light comes on it means you have no ABS only normal braking. Also a traction light will come on at the same time becaust it is directly linked to the ABS to change torque before a wheel slips. You need to have it hooked up to a professional scanner, because there are many different possibilities of what is wrong with the ABS/TCS system. hope this helps!!!
