How to Determine if the ABS Pump is Damaged?
1 Answers
Judgment Method: If the ABS pump is damaged, the brake pedal will feel very hard when pressed, and the sound will be strange, not the usual crisp and short sound. You can find a flat, uninhabited road, maintain a speed of about 60 mph, and slam on the brakes. If the brake pedal kicks back, it indicates that the ABS is functioning normally; if it doesn't kick back, it means the ABS is not working and there is a fault. If you remove the ABS fuse and apply the brakes at around 40 km/h, you will notice obvious brake marks on the vehicle. Here are the consequences of a faulty ABS: 1. If the ABS is damaged, there is a very serious hidden danger: in the case of emergency braking, the ABS function will not perform its role. 2. The ABS system prevents the tires from locking during sudden braking, avoiding accidents. If the ABS pump is damaged, the ABS warning light will come on, the anti-lock function will fail, and the brake pads will not reset. 3. If the ABS function is lost, you should use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) when braking, avoid sudden braking, and go to a professional repair shop for repair or replacement. 4. Modern cars are extensively equipped with anti-lock braking systems. The ABS not only has the braking function of a conventional braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking, ensuring directional stability during braking, and preventing skidding and deviation. It is currently the most advanced and effective braking device in automobiles.
