When the ABS light is on on the dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. The possible causes are: 1. Damaged or dirty wheel speed sensor; 2. Damaged or dirty signal wheel; 3. Faulty anti-lock braking control unit; 4. Loose connection or open circuit in the anti-lock braking system wiring. The functions of the ABS system on the dashboard are: 1. To maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; 2. To effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. To allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control; 4. To avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
