What does it mean when both the ABS light and the anti-skid light are on in a Bora?

When both the ABS light and the anti-skid light are illuminated in a Bora, it may indicate a faulty sensor. The ABS light staying on signifies an alert from the anti-lock braking system. Normally, this light turns on when the ignition is switched on or when the engine is started, as the system enters an automatic detection process. Once the detection is complete, the light should turn off. If the light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, fails to turn off after lighting up, or lights up while driving, it indicates a system malfunction. The ABS system controls the regulator by sending signals through 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 a braking efficiency of over 90% and reducing brake wear. If the ABS system of the vehicle malfunctions, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the vehicle's wiring and connectors for any signs of 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.
