anti lock braking system Page 923

The Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) is a lifesaver that prevents your wheels from locking up during sudden braking, allowing you to maintain steering control. It uses sensors to monitor wheel speed and modulates brake pressure accordingly, which is especially handy on slippery Aussie roads. Key specs: typically operates within milliseconds, integrates with electronic stability control, and works across various vehicle types.

Common issues include:

• Faulty wheel speed sensors
• ABS pump or module failure
• Wiring problems
• False ABS warnings

For the tech-savvy, check your vehicle’s manual or ServiceCentral for precise details. If you're shopping, Tradingpost and CarShowroom list vehicles with ABS prominently.
