What does ABS on the car dashboard mean?

[DiJune]

ABS on the car dashboard stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake system during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. When there is a system failure in the ABS, the ABS warning light on the dashboard will illuminate, the braking performance of the vehicle will deteriorate, and the braking distance will increase. It is advisable to inspect and repair the system as soon as possible. Common causes of ABS failure include: 1. Damaged or dirty wheel speed sensors, requiring cleaning or replacement; 2. Damaged or dirty signal wheels, requiring cleaning or bearing replacement; 3. Damaged ABS control unit, requiring replacement; 4. Poor connection or short circuit in ABS wiring, requiring repair or replacement of the wiring harness.
