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

The ABS and brake lights on a Toyota Highlander Hybrid indicate that the anti-lock braking system or the hydraulic brake system needs attention.

For drivers in Jacksonville, Coggin Toyota at the Avenues provides ABS and Brake Light diagnosis for the Toyota Highlander Hybrid across all model years. The inspection helps identify whether the warning involves a wheel-speed sensor, brake fluid, brake-pad wear, the parking brake switch, or a hydraulic concern. An amber ABS warning and a red brake warning do not communicate the same issue, so understanding which light is illuminated matters. When both lights appear, or when a red brake light is accompanied by a soft pedal, prompt professional attention is important because the vehicle should not be driven in that condition.

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

The amber ABS light may remain illuminated after the Toyota Highlander Hybrid starts when the anti-lock system has switched itself off. The most common cause named for this warning is a wheel-speed sensor fault. 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: the parking brake may be applied, the brake fluid may be low, or the hydraulic system may have 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.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues

The ABS and Brake Light service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues begins with a scan of the anti-lock brake module for stored trouble codes.

Brake fluid level and condition are checked along with brake-pad wear and the parking brake switch. These steps trace the warning to a sensor, fluid condition, brake-pad concern, parking-brake switch, or hydraulic issue rather than relying on guesswork.
