What causes the ABS and skid control lights to illuminate in the MG ZS?
1 Answers
The main reasons for the ABS and skid control lights illuminating in the MG ZS are sensor damage, ABS circuit failure, and ABS computer malfunction. Sensor damage: If the sensor is damaged, the ABS computer cannot determine the vehicle speed signal, triggering a warning light. It is recommended to inspect and repair the sensor. ABS circuit failure: A short circuit in a certain line can cause this issue. Checking the circuit is necessary. The skid control light illuminates because the ABS light is on, as they are interrelated. It is advisable to have a detailed inspection at a repair shop. Computer malfunction: This refers to a failure in the computer that processes ABS signals. In this case, replacing the ABS or ABS/ASR computer is required. Function of ABS: It maximizes the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; effectively prevents vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; allows steering during emergency braking, maintaining good steering control; avoids intense friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
