What are the effects of a faulty ABS sensor?
1 Answers
ABS sensor failure will cause the ABS system to malfunction. The ABS warning light on the car dashboard will illuminate, and during emergency braking, the wheels may lock up, leading to skidding and loss of control. The vehicle can still be driven with a faulty ABS sensor, but the ABS system won't function, causing the wheels to lock during hard braking. It is essential to drive carefully and avoid sudden braking. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is designed to automatically control the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state (with a slip ratio around 20%) to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface.
