ABS Sensor Service

ABS Sensor Repair & Replacement

Expert ABS sensor diagnostics and replacement to ensure your anti-lock braking system functions correctly.

Service Overview

Ensuring your ABS sensors are in working order is essential – not just for an MOT, but for your overall safety too. ABS sensors are incredibly sensitive, individually monitoring the acceleration and deceleration of each wheel through an electromagnetic field generated by the wheel's rotation.

Fluctuations in this field are registered and sent as signals to the ABS controller unit, which instantly applies precise amounts of braking force to each wheel in order to boost performance and efficiency, as well as safety. Due to their proximity to the wheels and the ground, ABS sensors are exposed to constant heat, dirt and moisture, as well as vibrations and the occasional jolt; which can lead to malfunctions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The increasing complexity of the traffic situation on our roads is placing high demands on car drivers. Driver assistance systems relieve the burden on the driver and optimise road safety. As a result, state-of-the-art driving assistance systems are now included as standard on virtually all new European vehicles.
They are used by the control units in driving assistance systems such as ABS, TCS, ESP, or ACC in order to detect the wheel speed. The wheel speed information is also provided to other systems (engine, transmission, navigation, and chassis control systems) via data lines by the ABS control unit.
  • The ABS Light
  • Brakes take longer to stop car
  • Less stability under icy or wet driving conditions
  • The most obvious sign of a problem with the ABS system is that the ABS Light will come on
An ABS light (anti-lock braking system) that is stuck on doesn't necessarily mean you need an ABS brake repair. The light staying on can be caused by something as simple as the emergency brake or more complicated things like a loss of brake fluid and pressure or bad hydraulic valves.
Your vehicle may not handle stopping on slippery surfaces like it is designed to under heavy braking. If both your ABS Light and brake system light come on, this is an emergency and you need to stop driving right away. Have your entire brake system inspected by a certified mechanic.
