Is the Anti-lock Braking System Activated When the ABS Light Is On?
1 Answers
When the ABS light is on, the anti-lock braking system is not activated. Instead, it is in a faulty or even deactivated state. Overview of Automotive ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up. This ensures the wheels maintain a rolling and sliding state (with a slip ratio of around 20%), maximizing the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. Classification of Automotive ABS: In ABS systems, the brake pipelines capable of independently adjusting braking pressure are referred to as control channels. ABS devices are categorized into four-channel, three-channel, two-channel, and single-channel types based on their control channels.
