What does it mean when the ABS and anti-skid lights are on in a Wrangler?

[DelCameron]

The main reasons for the ABS and anti-skid lights being on in a Wrangler are sensor damage, ABS circuit failure, or ABS computer malfunction. Sensor damage: If the sensor is damaged, the ABS computer cannot determine the vehicle speed signal, triggering an alarm and lighting the warning light. It is recommended to inspect and repair the sensor. ABS circuit failure: If a circuit is shorted to ground, check the wiring. The anti-skid light comes on because the ABS light is on; the two are related. 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 necessary. 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, providing excellent steering control; avoids severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
