Dash warning light under braking

Post by blue smurf_1 »

Hi all I have searched everywhere to try and find a picture explaining the dash warning lights on a corsa b but couldn't find any.

My girlfriend has a 2000 (w) corsa breeze 5dr. She has looked in the user manual but says the light that is coming on is not in there.

I have not witnessed the light she has just described it to me over the phone.
The warning light in question is the one next to the light that flashes when either indicator is on. To the right of it to be precise.
She tells me that the harder she brakes the brighter the light gets.

Could anybody help identify the light and what it symbolises and any possible causes.

Thanks

my guess would be brake related, maye b anti-lock brakes if it has, my sis had a light come on to say her anti-lock brakes weren't working properly on her vectra and had too take to garage to fix it. :?

if its the anti-lock system, take out the connectors from the sensors and masure them you need to masure ohm values put the pins of you (multimeter) voltmeter with a ohm function in the connector of abs sensor the one that has a different value is broken. goodluck
