What Causes the ABS and Anti-Skid Lights to Illuminate in the Compass?
1 Answers
The illumination of the ABS and anti-skid lights in the Compass may be due to sensor damage or faults in both the ABS and braking systems. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Sensor: If the sensor is damaged, there might be interference from the navigation system if one is present, or the tires could be slipping. The owner should determine if the vehicle might lose control, use a computer to check the ABS sensor to eliminate the fault, and resolve the ABS light issue; then the anti-skid light will not illuminate. 2. Faults in both the ABS and braking systems: If only the ABS warning light is on while driving, it indicates a fault in the ABS system, but the car can still rely on the conventional braking system to brake. Professional inspection and repair should be sought as soon as possible. If both the ABS warning light and the braking system warning light illuminate simultaneously while driving, it indicates faults in both the ABS and braking systems. The braking characteristics will change. In the latter case, the vehicle must be stopped immediately. Check the brake fluid level; if the level is at the "min" mark, do not continue driving and seek professional inspection and repair. If the fluid level is normal, it indicates that the ABS system may have a fault, meaning the ABS system's regulation function has failed, and only the ordinary braking system will work. This can easily cause the rear wheels to lock up quickly during braking, leading to skidding.
