Service Overview

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses. ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

The anti-lock braking system ensures that the wheels are always in tractive contact when driving by preventing the brakes from locking up and avoiding skidding. The ABS pump consists of an ECU which monitors the speed of the rotation of each wheel and a hydraulic unit/pump which puts pressure on the brakes.

An ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is an enhanced braking system which is commonly found in newer automobiles. An anti-lock brake sensor or ABS sensor is a type of tachometer that measures the rotational speed of a wheel and passes it to the car's Engine Control Module (ECM).

While your car will still brake, you should have your ABS system checked if the light stays on. If both the ABS and Brake System warning lights come on at the same time while you're driving, you must stop your car as quickly and safely as you can.
