These lights are part of the vehicle's safety system and are designed to alert the driver to a potential problem with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) or the brake assist system (BAS).
Some possible reasons why these lights are on could include:
1) Low Brake Fluid: If the brake fluid is low, it can cause the ABS and BAS lights to turn on. This is because the brake fluid helps to transmit hydraulic pressure from the brake master cylinder to the brake calipers, allowing the brakes to engage. If there is not enough brake fluid, the ABS and BAS systems may not be able to function properly.
2) Faulty Wheel Speed Sensor: The wheel speed sensors monitor the speed of each wheel and send this information to the ABS control module. If one of the wheel speed sensors is faulty, it can cause the ABS and BAS lights to turn on.
3) Faulty ABS Control Module: The ABS control module is responsible for controlling the ABS and BAS systems. If the control module is faulty, it can cause the ABS and BAS lights to turn on.
4) Other Issues: Other issues like a problem with the brake booster, a blown fuse, a faulty brake switch, or damage to the wiring of the ABS system could also cause the ABS and BAS lights to turn on.
Recommendation:
If the ABS and BAS lights are on in your 2010 Dodge Charger, it's important to have the vehicle diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Driving with a malfunctioning ABS or BAS system can increase the risk of a collision and injury.
