What is the reason for the continuous flashing of the motorcycle ABS light?

If the ABS light comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormality in the ABS electronic control system. Under such circumstances, the normal braking system generally does not malfunction; only the ABS function is disabled. It does not mean that there is no braking when the ABS has a fault. ABS only activates when the wheels are about to lock up and remains inactive when the wheels are not locking. However, as long as the braking system is not faulty, the brakes are still functional, and normal driving can continue. Below are some relevant details: Definition: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum wheel-to-ground adhesion. Advantages: Since the rear wheels do not lock up during braking, it significantly improves directional stability during braking, which is a major safety benefit. Additionally, its simple structure and low cost make it widely used in light trucks.
