Hi Jodie,

You will not notice any problems unless you have to slam on your brakes. What the ABS or Anti-Lock Braking System does is prevent the wheel from locking up when you have to slam on your brakes.

What the Light means is that you have an ABS Sensor or two that has failed, causing the ABS Light to turn on.

You will need to take it in to have the codes read to figure out which sensor has failed. There is no big hurry to do this it will not cause any other problems.
