What does it mean when the ABS warning light comes on?
1 Answers
ABS warning light indicates an alert in the anti-lock braking system. The ABS system may stop functioning, manifesting as reduced braking effectiveness, increased braking distance, and poorer handling performance during braking. Therefore, when the ABS light illuminates, the issue should be promptly addressed. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) functions by automatically regulating the braking force during vehicle deceleration to prevent wheel lock-up, maintaining a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio around 20%), thereby ensuring maximum tire-to-road adhesion.
