Frequently asked questions
2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum shown

On a Toyota Grand Highlander, an amber ABS light that stays on after startup means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light or circle with an exclamation point can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault; if both lights are on, or the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria provides ABS and brake light diagnosis for Toyota Grand Highlander models in Peoria, AZ. The inspection helps identify whether the warning relates to a wheel-speed sensor, brake fluid, brake pads, the parking brake switch, or another part of the hydraulic system.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Toyota Grand Highlander

The amber ABS light may remain illuminated after the Toyota Grand Highlander starts when the anti-lock system has switched itself off. Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. The red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, has a different meaning: it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, the brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn brake pads or a leak. Drivers may also notice a soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels locking in a hard stop. When both warning lights appear together, or when the red light is paired with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria

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 the tone rings that support sensor operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with brake pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps help trace the warning to a sensor, wiring or tone ring, fluid condition, worn pads, the parking brake switch, or a hydraulic concern rather than guessing at the cause. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria for an inspection of the warning lights and brake system.
