How to Resolve BYD ABS System Malfunctions?
3 Answers
Inspect the charging system and check the power supply. Tighten the mounting screws and clean the contact surfaces if necessary. Check for enlarged plug gaps and replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal, and replace the brake light switch.
When I encounter a BYD ABS system malfunction, the first thing I do is open the hood to inspect the wheel speed sensors and wiring connections. Those little components tend to get dirty or loose, so I clean the sensor heads with a cloth and check if the gap is correct. If the ABS light on the dashboard is on, it's best to first check if the related fuse in the fuse box is blown—if it is, replace it. Then, start the engine for a test drive, but don’t rush onto the highway. If the light remains on, the sensor itself might be faulty or there could be an issue with the module. In this case, I’d buy an OBD scanner online to read the fault codes, spending a few hundred bucks to fix it myself. If my DIY skills aren’t up to par, I’d immediately drive to a 4S shop or a professional repair station, because ABS issues affect braking safety, especially when driving in the rain. Regularly cleaning the mud around the sensors during car washes helps prevent dust buildup and potential problems.
ABS malfunctions are such a headache, it's what I fear most after all these years of driving. When the dashboard warning light comes on, I immediately pull over to check the situation. Usually the issue lies with dirty wheel speed sensors or aging cables - sometimes simply unplugging and reconnecting the loose connector does the trick. The fuse needs inspection too; locate the one labeled ABS in the fuse box and replace if blown. But if the problem persists, I never risk DIY repairs since the braking system concerns safety - if the ABS pump or control module fails, professional diagnostic equipment is required. I always note the exact time the light came on and the vehicle's response before contacting a BYD-authorized service center. During routine maintenance, I remind technicians to thoroughly inspect the wheel areas and electrical systems to prevent sudden failures. Remember, driving with faulty ABS is highly risky - never delay addressing the issue.
