Anti-Lock Brakes
The ABS light refers to your vehicle's anti-lock electronic system. This includes individual brake sensors and an ABS computerized module. Before ABS systems were developed, brakes often seized up during emergency stops. This led to an untold number of accidents. With ABS, your system regulates braking power to prevent a mechanical failure. For fast repairs, schedule an appointment.
Warning Light
When the warning light is on, it could mean that a sensor has gone bad or needs cleaning. It could mean that the module has gone bad. A steady warning light indicates a problem that may affect your safety. A blinking light is a warning that your safety may be endangered if you drive. 
Brake Warning Light
How does the ABS light differ from the brake light? The brake light indicates a problem with your brake's mechanical parts. Your brake fluid could be low. Your parking brake may have jammed. If your pads haven't been replaced in timely manner, it could be your discs or drums. The ABS system can't work if these components aren't working correctly.
