warning symbals

Hi,can anyone tell me what the (!) symbal means? I have lost my owners manual and yesterday my Alternater went and today that light is on , on my dash and my engine light is on and is it normal for my abs light to stay on? If anyone can help I would appreciate it..Thanks

(!) is brakes, I think. It should come on when your parking brake is on, and it'll come on if the brake fluid level is low.

If the ABS light is on, you do not have ABS working properly and so the entire ABS is offline. Get it scanned from a technician to determine what the code is and your course of action to remedy it.

Thanks...the abs light has came on and off as long as i owned the car about 2 years now...I guess I had better get it in ..the (!) light just came on a few days ago and went off when i had the new Alterater put in but came back on yesterday...weird...I asked the guy why the engine light keeps comin on he said its more then likely the settings are off or something I have no clue what he is talkin about...do you know if its alot to get it scanned ..i just put the alternater in and i am tapped for about 2 more weeks..

autozone and some other places does it for free. Or else find a good mechanic.

Unfortunately I am in Canada where nothing is free..and a good mechanic is so hard to find....I have a guy but it takes forever to get into him then longer to get things done but he is honest and trustworthy...I went to the dealership to get an oil change they gave me a list of repairs i needed done was over 800 dollars took it to my guy he laughed and said none of this has to be done ...so now i go to jiffy lube..lol..
