anti sway warning light?

Lots of stuff going on with Van Diesel and a few days to get some work done.
Coming home I noticed a yellow warning light that I hadn't seen before and can't identify.

Third light from the left in a 1995 L400.
It's orange, consists of a circle bracketed by parentheses. Inside the circle is an image that looks like the back of the van over a see saw. I can only guess that it is some kind of anti-sway warning, but I can't find reference to it anywhere.

Can't seem to upload a photo...Keep being told that "jpg. is an invalid filename" urgh.

Anyone help me suss out what this warning light means?


Thanks,

Patton

that's your ABS light.

either the sensor is unplugged, you have air in the ABS valve system or more troubleshooting is required.

Here is a good troubleshooting guide: http://www.mdocuk.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40384

Mine is buggered. Coombs went through everything on it and could not find a reason for it to be on. They even offered for me to bring it back sometime and they would fix it for free because it was bugging them so much- they just want to find the issue! In the end we fixed it though by pulling the bulb out of the cluster. Problem solved 8-)

If you are at all any good at driving, you won't need ABS anyways. The light did bug me though after a year and a half of always being on.

This may or may not help but my 1996 Nissan truck and 2000 xterra would have ABS lights come on when the alternator output would waiver after a messy trail ride.

It was weird but that's how Nissan wired their warning lights.
