What to Do When the Rear Wheels Lock Up?

[MacCaroline]

Solutions for locked rear wheels: Release the handbrake, and use the spare tire or simply kick the sidewall of the tire a few times to resolve the issue. The cause of rear wheel lock-up may be due to pulling the handbrake while washing the car, leading to water entering the rear wheels and causing the brake pads and brake drum to lock up. To avoid incorrect braking behaviors, including the ABS system activated during emergency braking, sensors on the tires send signals based on the angle of each vehicle's tires, quickly calculating the vehicle speed, wheel deceleration, and the probability of wheel slip. The ABS system automatically determines whether the tires are tending to lock up and then takes action, directly intervening in braking without requiring manual control. It releases the braking pressure on its own, allowing the nearly locked tires to return to normal operation, then reapplies braking pressure and releases it again, repeating this action continuously.
