What is the impact of a faulty ABS on braking?
1 Answers
A faulty ABS can affect the anti-lock braking function of the car, which does not have a significant impact on driving but does influence the braking system to some extent. For example, during emergency braking, the system cannot prevent wheel lock-up, posing a significant safety hazard. Below is an introduction to the car's braking system: 1. The car's braking system: The braking system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The car relies on the braking system to stop when driving on the road. The braking system generates friction between the brake pads and the wheel hub or disc, converting the kinetic energy of the moving car into heat energy during the friction process. 2. Brake pump: The brake pump is an important component of the hydraulic system. It can be divided into the master brake pump and the wheel brake pump, serving as a crucial part of the hydraulic braking system. When the piston inside the cylinder is acted upon by the push rod of the brake pedal, the brake fluid in the cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinders of each tire through the brake pump.
