The reason for the ABS and anti-skid warning lights on the Baojun 510 is: a malfunction in the ABS system and anti-skid system, and it is necessary to go to a 4S store as soon as possible to check the wheel speed sensor or replace it. The Baojun 510 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4220mm, width 1740mm, height 1615mm, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 73 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 135 Newton meters. Its drive mode is front-wheel drive, with MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
I've repaired quite a few Baojun 510s, and these two lights coming on simultaneously is quite common. The most likely culprit is a faulty wheel speed sensor - that little device near the tires. If it gets clogged with mud or fails, the ABS and anti-skid systems won't receive signals and will trigger warnings. Another possibility is damaged sensor wiring or loose connectors. Don't overlook the ABS pump module either - water ingress or circuit failures in this component can also cause issues. If the lights turn off by themselves a few seconds after starting the car, it might just be low battery voltage during system self-check. This isn't something to delay fixing - last time I encountered an owner who put off repairs, they nearly had an accident when braking in the rain. Best to scan for trouble codes and investigate properly right away.
My Baojun 510 had the same issue half a year ago - the ABS and traction control lights suddenly came on. When I took it to the repair shop, the mechanic diagnosed it as a failed wheel speed sensor on the right rear wheel. He explained that the sensor position on this Baojun model is relatively low, making it prone to damage from road debris or getting clogged with mud. Replacing the new sensor cost less than 200 yuan and fixed the problem. It could also be wiring issues - things like rodents chewing through wires or oxidized connectors causing poor contact are common. Another time, my friend's car had a loose ABS module connector, and simply reseating it solved the problem. My advice is don't panic when this happens - first check around the tires for obvious damage or mud buildup. If that doesn't help, get it professionally diagnosed with proper equipment.
