ABS Diagnostics

ABS Warning light on?
Afraid your brakes won't work?

ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. A properly functioning ABS system is designed to prevent your car from skidding on heavy braking or braking on slippery surfaces. It is supplemental to your standard brakes. Through a series of sensors, valves, pumps, relays and module the ABS system monitors the braking of each wheel (or both rear wheels on a rear wheel ABS system.) When it senses the lock-up of a wheel during skid, the ABS will automatically pulse the braking of that wheel (or wheels) to prevent skidding.

If your yellow ABS light or red brake warning light are on, there's a problem in either system which should be diagnosed. This doesn't necessarily mean your brakes have failed, but there is a problem which should be checked out.

Did You Know?

That just being a little low on brake fluid can turn the ABS warning light on.
That many "brake shops" are not equipped to properly diagnose ABS problems, often resulting in an costly repair bill due to unnecessary component replacement.
