If your Lexus ES ABS warning light stays on, a faulty wheel speed sensor is the most common cause. Here’s what to check and whether you can keep driving.
Why Your ABS Light Is On
Seeing the ABS light glowing steadily on your Lexus ES dashboard can be unsettling, but it's usually not an emergency. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) light means the system has detected a fault and has disabled itself. Your regular brakes will still work, but you lose the anti-lock function that helps prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. The most common cause on a Lexus ES is a faulty wheel speed sensor, but it could also be a wiring issue, a dirty or damaged tone ring, or less commonly, the ABS control module.
