What are the reasons for the ABS warning light in the Sagitar being on?
1 Answers
There are multiple states for the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the contaminants from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections between system lines or poor contact in the ABS relay lead to signal issues, causing system failure. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: The ABS warning light intermittently turns on but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. The ABS warning light turns off as the engine speed increases and voltage rises. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: The ABS warning light remains on after engine startup and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding connection of the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections of the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check for enlarged gaps in the connectors. Replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: The ABS warning light turns on during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS computer detects a significant difference between the rear and front wheel speed signals. This may also be due to incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: The ABS warning light intermittently turns on. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with your fingers, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving, as it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
