What Are the Reasons for the Car's Anti-Skid Light to Illuminate?

Reasons for the car's anti-skid light to illuminate: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connector; 3. Short circuit in the wiring or related fuse blown; 5. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 6. ABS pump failure. The car's anti-skid system has several different names, such as the body stability system, traction control system, drive wheel anti-skid system, and vehicle dynamic control system, all of which are derivatives of the car's anti-skid system. There are two methods to turn off the anti-skid light: one is to restart the engine and briefly press the ESP OFF button on the vehicle to see if the ESP was accidentally turned off; the second is to take the car to a 4S shop for inspection, using a specialized fault diagnostic tool to locate the fault, and then using a decoder to clear the fault code after repair.
After driving for so many years, the anti-skid light has come on a few times, usually due to sensor issues, like when the wheel speed sensors on the wheels get dusty or damaged, causing the system to mistakenly think it's about to skid. Sometimes it's a software glitch, like an error during a car system update or unstable battery voltage preventing the system from rebooting. I remember that time after the rain when the light came on, and it went back to normal as soon as I wiped the sensors clean. The anti-skid system is actually crucial—it can prevent accidents. When the light comes on, you need to be alert. I recommend regularly checking the sensors and wiring. Don't wait until something happens on the road—simple maintenance can save you a lot of trouble.
