Message:: [QUOTE="Rideandrepair, post: 12375197, member: 168603"]Should have a light on the dash. Maybe the Dealer can tell you, given the vin#, They  should be able to pull up everything related to the abs that your Truck was built with.  My 2000 Freightliner also has a trailer abs light on the dash. From what I’ve read, Trailer dash lights only work with newer trailers. My 08 Trailer won’t light it up, Never lights up on a test mode either. Now I’m wondering if it’s burnt out. My parking brake lights burned out. I’ve had to replace the Tractors abs dash light. My Trailers outside yellow light works correctly in test mode and also if there’s a problem. That satisfies the requirement. My guess is you do have a light. Maybe a Trailer  light also. Stands to reason, if you have abs. The manufacturers had prior knowledge of the deadlines. I’m not sure exactly what year Freightliner started putting abs on their Trucks. Pretty sure it was before the deadline. I’m going to have to check my Trailer dash light. I got a warning once for the Trailer outside light being out, ( I had it unplugged ). The Officer suggested I fix it, and noted the abs was working, since he could hear the sensors cycling. At least it’s not an OOS issue. Light on or inoperable, is only a warning ticket at most, from what I understand.[/QUOTE]
