What causes the ABS and anti-skid lights to illuminate simultaneously in a Bora?
1 Answers
"The simultaneous illumination of the ABS and anti-skid lights in a Bora may indicate a faulty sensor. A constantly lit ABS light signifies an anti-lock braking system alert. Normally, this light turns on when the ignition is switched on or the engine is started, as the system enters a self-check routine. The light should go off once the check is completed. If the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is on, remains lit after the check, or lights up while driving, it indicates a system malfunction. The ABS system controls the regulator by sending signals from the sensors installed on the wheels, reducing the hydraulic pressure of the wheel brakes to decrease the braking torque. This enhances the safety factor of the vehicle during emergency braking, achieving over 90% braking efficiency and reducing brake wear. If the ABS system malfunctions, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the vehicle's wiring and connectors for any poor contact or damage. Additionally, the installation gap between the wheel sensors and the toothed rings should be checked promptly to ensure it is within normal parameters."
