Now you've unplugged it you have no warning lights if system fails .
If you loose pressure or fluid you need warning lights to come on.

It's also a fail if the warning lights fail to illuminate and extinguish correctly.

The lights still remained on permanently when it was plugged in was just dangerous because it wudnt stop felt like abs was kicking in even just coming to a steady stop

I found that the reservoir cap was the problem when my abs lights stayed on constantly, replaced that they now go out which they have not done since owning the car
