Can You Still Drive If the Car's ABS Sensor Is Broken?
1 Answers
The car's ABS sensor is damaged, it is recommended not to continue driving. Because the ABS light on means that the vehicle's anti-lock braking system is faulty, if the wheels lock during emergency braking, the vehicle will lose control and skid, making it impossible for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks. Composition of the ABS System: The ABS system mainly consists of four parts: wheel speed sensor, electronic control unit ECU, hydraulic unit, and ABS warning light. The wheel speed sensor detects the motion state of the wheels, emits a sinusoidal electronic pulse AC signal, which is then processed by the modulator to convert the pulse into a digital signal and transmit it to the electronic control unit. The electronic central control unit ECU receives the input signal from the wheel speed sensor, uses this as a parameter to calculate the wheel speed, vehicle speed, and slip rate, and determines the wheel state based on the slip rate, issuing control commands to the hydraulic unit. The hydraulic unit adjusts the pressure of the brake lines according to the control commands, with the adjustment process including pressure holding, pressure increase, and pressure decrease. The ABS warning light is used to alert the driver to system faults. Functions of ABS: Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, shortening braking time and distance. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. Avoid violent friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
