I hope you meant "SBC". "ABS" is nothing to worry about and ABS and SBC are NOT the same.
There are three basic warnings with the light you have- one means to change the SBC pump, one is the accumulator on the SBC and I forgot what the other is. I had the light and it coded as a bad accumulator- so I bought one and had it changed out- but the accumulator wasn't bad in the first place. If your SBC is nearing the end of the lifespan it'll tell you- in the warning light you are seeing now(but as I said it could be something else). If the SBC pump then does "end it's lifespan" then the warning turns
red-
at any time (ie could be while you are driving)- and then it basically refuses to work and your brakes have a reduced capacity-
meaning you have little to no brakes. People have died. Get to a indie that'll be able to correctly diagnose the issue and clear the code and light.
