Can abs light come on if brake pads are worn?

Yes, the ABS light can come on if brake pads are worn, although it's not the most common indicator. Worn brake pads can lead to decreased braking efficiency, which may trigger the ABS warning light as part of the vehicle’s safety monitoring system. Additionally, if the wear leads to issues with the brake fluid level or the brake system's overall function, it could also activate the ABS light. It's important to have the brake system inspected if the light comes on to ensure safe driving conditions.
