Frequently asked questions
2013 Honda Crosstour Ex L shown

The ABS light on a Honda Crosstour means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, most often because of a wheel-speed sensor fault, while normal braking remains but the wheels can lock in a hard stop. The red BRAKE light has a different meaning: it may indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic system fault. Coggin Honda Orlando provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for every Honda Crosstour model year in Orlando, FL. The inspection is designed to trace the warning to the sensor, wiring, tone ring, fluid, pads, parking brake switch, or another listed brake-system concern instead of guessing.

Located at 11051 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Coggin Honda Orlando helps Honda Crosstour drivers understand warning lights on this hatchback and arrange the appropriate inspection.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Honda Crosstour

An amber ABS light that stays on after the Honda Crosstour starts means 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 can also mean the parking brake is applied. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock in a hard stop increases the urgency. With both lights on, or with the red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Honda Orlando

ABS and brake light service begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection then covers the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings that support sensor operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process helps identify whether the warning relates to a sensor, wiring or tone ring, fluid condition, pad wear, the parking brake switch, or the hydraulic system. Honda Crosstour drivers can schedule service at Coggin Honda Orlando for a focused warning-light inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the ABS light mean on a Honda Crosstour?The amber ABS light 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 in a hard stop. Coggin Honda Orlando scans the anti-lock brake module and checks the related sensors, wiring, and tone rings.

What is the difference between the amber ABS light and the red brake light?The amber ABS light concerns the anti-lock system, while the red BRAKE light can indicate an applied parking brake, low fluid, or a hydraulic fault.

Low brake fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A red light with a soft pedal requires particular caution, and the vehicle should not be driven when both lights are on or when the red light accompanies a soft pedal.

Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?With the ABS light on, normal braking remains but the wheels can lock in a hard stop.

The service information does not extend that guidance to a red brake light with a soft pedal or to both warning lights together. In either of those situations, the vehicle should not be driven.

What usually causes the ABS and brake lights?The named inspection areas include a wheel-speed sensor fault, sensor wiring or tone rings, brake fluid, pad wear, the parking brake switch, and the hydraulic system.

The ABS module is scanned for stored trouble codes, while the brake system is inspected to trace the warning to its source. This approach distinguishes the anti-lock warning from the separate red brake-light concern.
