Frequently asked questions
2025 Honda Pilot Black Edition shown

On a Honda Pilot, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault. The ABS and Brake Light service at Coggin Honda Orlando in Orlando helps identify the reason by scanning the anti-lock brake module and inspecting the braking system. Drivers may notice an amber ABS symbol, a red BRAKE light or circle with an exclamation point, a soft pedal, or wheels that lock during a hard stop. With both lights illuminated, or with a red light and a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven. The inspection helps trace the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, pad wear, or another named brake-system concern rather than guessing.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Honda Pilot

The amber ABS light that stays on after startup 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 during a hard stop. The red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, can mean the parking brake is applied, the brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal or a pedal that travels farther than usual adds urgency. If both lights remain on, or if the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Honda Orlando

The ABS and Brake Light service begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection also tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring and tone rings to help trace an amber ABS warning. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps help distinguish a sensor concern from low fluid, worn pads, a leak, an applied parking brake, or a hydraulic-system fault. Drivers can schedule service at Coggin Honda Orlando for a focused inspection of the warning lights and braking system.
