What is the Anti Lock Brake Warning Light and What Does It Mean?
The Anti Lock Brake Warning Light comes on when the brakes are applied too hard, preventing the car from moving.

How to Fix an Buick Anti Lock Brake Warning Light
If you’re having trouble keeping your car from rolling when trying to stop, there’s a good chance you have an anti-lock brake warning light on. The light comes on when the brake system isn’t working as it should. If you’ve been meaning to get it fixed but haven’t had the time or money, here are some tips on how to do it yourself:
First, make sure the brake pads and rotors are in good shape. If they’re not, your car won’t be able to stop properly.
Next, take the car to a mechanic who can check the brakes for wear and tear. If there’s damage, they’ll be able to fix it without having to replace the entire system.
If all of that looks good and there’s no wear or tear found on the brakes themselves, then you can start working on fixing the anti-lock brake warning light. There are a few different ways to do this:
One way is to change out the fuse box in your car. This is usually done by using a standard screwdriver and some Phillips screws. However, before doing this make sure you unplug all of the other electrical components in your car so you don’t accidentally fried something else while trying to fix the light!
Another way is to reset your anti-lock brake sensor by removing the wheel cap and flipping a switch underneath it. You’ll need a flat head screwdriver for this procedure.
