How does an ABS Module work?

A working ABS Module is significant for Safe Driving

As an essential part of a car's safety system, the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) module plays a crucial role in preventing accidents. The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle's antilock braking system and processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system that monitors the speed of a vehicle's wheels and modulates brake pressure to prevent skidding, thereby ensuring control and stability of the vehicle.

  • Signs of a Faulty ABS Module:
    * ABS warning light lows;
    * Brakes lock up;
    * Unresponsive brake pedal;
    * Increased pedal effort;
    * Speedometer failure.

Regular servicing of ABS can bring many benefits such as improved performance, longer lifespan of components, and enhanced driving safety. On the other hand, not maintaining ABS can lead to problems like brake fluid leaks, malfunctioning, and higher risks of accidents.

It's vital to have your car's ABS module checked by a qualified technician regularly to ensure its optimal performance and safe driving. Remember, investing in your car's safety is always worth it!
