What causes the ABS and anti-skid warning lights to illuminate in a Hyundai Elantra?
1 Answers
It may be due to a damaged sensor, causing the ABS computer to be unable to determine the vehicle speed signal, triggering the warning lights. Alternatively, it could be an ABS wiring fault, such as a short circuit in a certain wire—checking the wiring should resolve this. The anti-skid light illuminates because the ABS light is on. It is recommended to visit a repair shop for a detailed inspection. Additional information is as follows: 1. ABS Anti-lock Braking System: The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle deceleration to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio around 0.2), ensuring maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. 2. Anti-skid Light: The anti-skid light typically refers to the indicator for the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) or other vehicle stability control systems. If the light flashes on slippery roads, it indicates that the ABS system is active, reminding the driver to exercise caution.
