How to Deal with the ABS Light Turning On?

[LaRylee]

The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, functions to automatically regulate the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a state where wheels roll and slide simultaneously (with a slip ratio around 20%). This ensures maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. Below are detailed explanations regarding the ABS light illumination: 1. System Malfunction: When the ABS light turns on, it indicates a fault within the ABS system (typically a sensor failure), rendering it inoperable. However, standard braking remains unaffected, allowing continued driving. Schedule a visit to a 4S store or professional auto repair shop for maintenance at your convenience. 2. Precautions: In extreme conditions (such as high-speed driving or icy roads), sudden braking may risk wheel lock-up. Lock-up refers to the scenario where, during braking, the tires cease rotation entirely after a single brake application. This can easily lead to loss of vehicle control, resulting in traffic accidents and other hazards.
