What are the symptoms of a faulty ABS?
1 Answers
There is an ABS light on the dashboard. If the ABS system is functioning properly, this light will blink. If the ABS system has a malfunction, the light will not blink and will remain constantly illuminated. The ABS system is the anti-lock braking system in a car, which prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking. More detailed information is as follows: 1. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the car will lose control and skid. In this situation, the driver cannot slow down the car or adjust its driving trajectory, which is very dangerous. 2. The ABS system allows the wheels to maintain a rolling and sliding state during emergency braking, preventing wheel lock-up. This enables the driver to slow down while adjusting the driving trajectory to avoid obstacles. 3. If the ABS system is faulty, it is recommended that drivers repair it immediately. Otherwise, the wheels may lock up during emergency braking, which is extremely hazardous. 4. When driving a car equipped with an ABS system, the best practice in an emergency is to firmly press the brake pedal all the way down and let the ABS system handle the rest. 5. When driving a car without an ABS system, in an emergency situation, you can use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to prevent wheel lock-up.
