Bentley Continental Flying Spur ABS and Brake Light

On the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, an amber ABS light that remains on after startup means the anti-lock system has switched itself off, while a red BRAKE light or circle with an exclamation point can mean the parking brake is applied, brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault; normal braking remains with an ABS fault, but wheels can lock in a hard stop, and the vehicle should not be driven when both lights are on or when a red light appears with a soft pedal, so an ABS and brake-light inspection traces the warning to the wheel-speed sensors, fluid, pads, parking-brake switch, or hydraulic system.

Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA, provides diagnostic service for Continental Flying Spur drivers who need the warning light identified and the brake system inspected.

What the ABS and brake lights mean on a Bentley Continental Flying Spur

The amber ABS light may stay illuminated after the vehicle starts when the anti-lock system has switched itself off, most often because of a wheel-speed sensor fault. Normal braking remains, but the wheels can lock during a hard stop. A red BRAKE light, or a circle with an exclamation point, can indicate that the parking brake is applied, the brake fluid is low, or the hydraulic system has a fault.

Low brake fluid usually points to worn pads or a leak. A soft pedal or pedal travel that is longer than usual adds urgency, as does wheel lock during a hard stop. When both lights are illuminated, or when a red light appears with a soft pedal, the vehicle should not be driven.

What the diagnosis covers at Bentley Boston

The inspection begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes. Bentley Boston also tests the wheel-speed sensors, their wiring, and the tone rings to help identify an ABS-related fault rather than guessing at the cause.

The brake system inspection includes brake fluid level and condition, pad wear, and the parking-brake switch. These checks distinguish the amber ABS warning from the red brake warning and help determine whether the concern involves a sensor, fluid, pads, or the hydraulic system. Drivers can schedule service for the ABS and brake-light diagnosis.
