On a Honda Clarity, 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 system fault.

Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda in Palm Harbor, FL, helps Honda Clarity drivers understand warning lights before a braking concern becomes more serious. The ABS and Brake Light service traces the warning through an anti-lock module scan and a brake system inspection, identifying whether the concern involves a wheel-speed sensor, wiring, tone ring, brake fluid, pad wear, or the parking brake switch. When both lights are illuminated, or when the red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Honda Clarity

The amber ABS light may remain illuminated after the Honda Clarity 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 on after the parking brake is released when the brake fluid is low or the hydraulic system has a fault. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock in a hard stop requires attention. With both lights on, or with the red light and a soft pedal, the Honda Clarity should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda

The ABS and Brake Light service at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. The inspection then tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings that support the system’s speed readings. 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, fluid, pads, or another named part of the brake system rather than relying on guesswork. Honda Clarity drivers can schedule service at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda for this diagnostic inspection.
