What does the ABS warning light on the car mean?
1 Answers
When the ABS warning light appears on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the Anti-lock Braking System, which is an active safety feature built upon conventional braking mechanisms. The ABS prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking, maintaining a rolling-and-sliding state of the wheels to enhance tire-to-ground friction. By regulating hydraulic pressure in the wheel brake cylinders, ABS ensures wheels don't lock during hard stops, preserving directional stability under emergency braking conditions.
