How to Solve Wheel Lock-Up?

Address according to the fault codes. Inspect the parking brake switch, brake switch, and ABS indicator light. Check for voltage between the control unit's +B terminal and the vehicle body.
I've experienced wheel lock-up several times, mainly when braking too hard or driving on slippery roads. The key is not to panic - immediately release the brake pedal to restore tire traction while gently steering to avoid skidding. Many cars have ABS systems that automatically control braking during emergency stops to prevent lock-up. Prevention is crucial: regularly check tire condition to ensure sufficient tread depth, maintain the braking system by replacing worn pads and keeping brake fluid clean. Driving habits matter too - minimize sudden braking and reduce speed on wet roads. I recommend professional inspections every six months to prevent accidents.
