Frequently asked questions
2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 25th Edition shown

On a Toyota Highlander Hybrid, an amber ABS light means the anti-lock braking system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light can indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault.

Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, provides ABS and Brake Light diagnosis for Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUVs across all model years. The inspection helps identify whether the warning involves a wheel-speed sensor, its wiring or tone ring, brake fluid, pad wear, the parking brake switch, or another hydraulic concern. Drivers can use the dealership’s service resources to understand the warning, arrange an inspection, and find the appropriate next step for the vehicle.

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

The amber ABS light may remain on after the Toyota Highlander Hybrid 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, may stay illuminated with the parking brake released when brake fluid is low or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn brake pads or a leak. If both lights are on, or if the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven. A pedal that feels soft or travels farther than usual, an amber light that stays on, or wheels that lock in a hard stop calls for brake-system attention.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria

The inspection begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The service team then tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings that support the system’s operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with brake-pad wear and the parking brake switch. This process traces the warning to a sensor, fluid, pads, or the hydraulic system rather than guessing at the cause. When the ABS or brake warning remains illuminated, drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria for an inspection.

What does the ABS light mean on a Toyota Highlander Hybrid?The amber ABS light means the anti-lock system has switched itself off.

Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. A scan of the anti-lock brake module and testing of the wheel-speed sensors can help trace the warning.

What is the difference between the amber ABS light and the red brake light?The amber ABS light concerns the anti-lock system, while the red brake light can signal an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or a hydraulic fault.

The red light may appear as BRAKE or as a circle with an exclamation point. Both lights together, or a red light with a soft pedal, means the vehicle should not be driven.

Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?With only the amber ABS light on, normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock in a hard stop.

What usually causes the ABS and brake lights to come on?The named causes include a wheel-speed sensor fault, low brake fluid, worn brake pads, a leak, a parking brake switch condition, or a hydraulic-system fault.

The inspection checks the sensors, wiring, tone rings, fluid, pads, and parking brake switch. A module scan helps connect the warning to the relevant part of the braking system.
