Frequently asked questions
2013 Honda Crosstour Ex L shown

On a Honda Crosstour, 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. As a hatchback driver, a soft pedal, a pedal that travels farther than usual, or wheels that lock during a hard stop requires immediate attention; the vehicle should not be driven when both lights are on or when the red light appears with a soft pedal. Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda in Palm Harbor, FL, diagnoses ABS and brake warnings by scanning the anti-lock module and inspecting the related brake system, helping identify whether the concern involves a sensor, fluid, pads, or another named system condition.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Honda Crosstour

The amber ABS light may remain on after the Honda Crosstour 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, can stay illuminated with the parking brake released when brake fluid is low or the hydraulic system has a fault; it can also indicate that the parking brake is applied.

A soft pedal or one that travels farther than usual adds urgency. Low fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. When both lights are illuminated, or when the red light is paired with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda

The diagnosis 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 their operation. Brake fluid level and condition are checked alongside pad wear and the parking brake switch.

This process traces the warning to a sensor, fluid, pads, or the parking brake switch rather than relying on guesswork. Drivers can schedule service at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda for an ABS and brake system inspection.
