What to Do When Car Wheels Lock Up After Long-Term Parking
1 Answers
Without ABS installed, if you press the brake pedal hard while driving, the wheel speed will rapidly decrease. When the braking force exceeds the friction force of the wheels, they will lock up. By continuously monitoring the rotational speed of each wheel through speed sensors installed on the wheels or drive shafts, the computer calculates the wheel slip rate at that moment. It then decides whether to increase or decrease the braking pressure. The controller commands the regulator to reduce the hydraulic pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, thereby decreasing the braking torque. This process can occur 5 to 10 times per second, ensuring the wheels remain rotating while maintaining maximum braking torque.
