Why does the ABS light come on and the car cannot be locked in Baojun?

If the ABS warning light is on and the car cannot be locked in a Baojun, you can troubleshoot based on the following aspects: 1. Conduct a visual inspection of the system to check for damaged wires, loose connectors, or low brake fluid levels, etc.; 2. Use a diagnostic scanner to read the fault codes and identify the issues they represent; 3. Based on the interpreted fault conditions, use necessary tools and instruments to conduct an in-depth inspection of the faulty components to confirm the location and cause of the issue; 4. If the warning light remains on, there may still be a fault in the system, or the fault may have been resolved but the fault code was not cleared. Additional information: 1. Reasons for the ABS light coming on: 1. Faulty wheel speed sensor; 2. ABS wiring fault; 3. Fault with the ABS pump or pressure control solenoid valve; 4. ABS computer fault. 2. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During braking, ABS automatically controls the braking force to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a rolling-sliding state to maximize traction between the tires and the road. ABS not only provides the braking function of a conventional braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking, ensuring directional stability and preventing skidding or deviation.
When the ABS light is on and the car can't be locked, I've encountered this issue with my own Baojun. It might be related to a chain reaction in the electronic system. The ABS light usually comes on due to dirty sensors, poor wiring connections, or a faulty controller. As for the inability to lock the car, the anti-theft system might detect an anomaly and proactively disable the central locking to prevent further issues. My suggestion is to first check the battery voltage—low voltage can cause the car's computer systems to malfunction, leading to both the ABS light and the locking function failing. Next, scan for trouble codes; an OBD tool can pinpoint the source at a low cost. Once, I resolved the issue simply by cleaning dust off the wheel speed sensors. The key is not to panic and get it fixed at a repair shop promptly for safety. Avoid exposing the car to rain or water immersion regularly, and keep wiring connections dry to prevent potential hazards.
