ABS Light Testing


Your vehicle’s ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) light is more than just a dashboard warning—it’s a critical indicator of your car’s ability to stop safely. When this light turns on, it means your ABS system has detected a problem that needs immediate attention. At Scott's Ivy Exxon Automotive & Tire, our expert technicians provide fast, accurate ABS diagnostics so you can drive with confidence and peace of mind.

Why Your ABS Light Matters


The ABS system prevents your wheels from locking during sudden stops, helping you maintain steering control and reducing stopping distance. When the ABS light comes on, your standard brakes may still work, but the enhanced safety features of ABS may not. Driving without a functioning ABS system can increase your risk in emergency braking situations.
