Why is the ABS light on?

[ChristianRose]

ABS light on indicates an alarm from the anti-lock braking system, and the ABS system may stop functioning. The malfunction manifests as reduced braking effectiveness, increased braking distance, and poorer braking control performance. Therefore, when the ABS light comes on, the issue should be promptly addressed. ABS, or Anti-lock Braking System, is a technology developed by Robert Bosch GmbH for use in motorcycles and cars to prevent loss of vehicle control and increase braking distance, thereby enhancing vehicle safety. The working process of the ABS system involves performing pulsed braking at a frequency of 6 to 10 times per second, alternating between braking and releasing. It replaces manual control with electronic intelligent control to prevent wheel lock-up, ensuring the wheels always receive maximum braking force while maintaining flexible steering.
