What kind of brake light does a Silverado have?
If this occurs, both the amber ABS warning light and the red brake warning light will illuminate. The base brakes would remain fully functional, but the Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP) system, which optimizes front to rear brake balance would become inoperative.
Why does my GM ABS brake still run?
The antilock brake system (ABS) is controlled by its own computer. When it senses a problem, the ABS module on the dashboard will light up. When the problem is fixed, the module will sometimes still stay on, and it will need to be rest.
What causes the amber brake warning light to turn on?
If misalignment occurs, the noise during ABS activation caused by the ABS motor will become progressively louder, and retainer/bearing friction will increase, resulting in higher motor-current draw. Eventually, this could render the ABS non-functional. If this occurs, both the amber ABS warning light and the red brake warning light will illuminate.
Where is the ABS light on a Silverado?

If misalignment occurs, the noise during ABS activation caused by the ABS motor will become progressively louder, and retainer/bearing friction will increase, resulting in higher motor-current draw. Eventually, this could render the ABS non-functional. If this occurs, both the amber ABS warning light and the red brake warning light will illuminate.
Can a parking brake light be activated by ABS?
Usually, the brake fluid level sensor and the parking brake are the only two items that can activate the BRAKE light. But, not all vehicles are the same, and some of the earliest ABS systems would trigger both lights simultaneously for any ABS fault.
