Understanding the ABS and Its Importance
The ABS serves as a guardian against skidding during braking by recognizing wheel rotation and releasing brake fluid pressure when needed. This prevents your car from locking up and skidding uncontrollably, ensuring you remain in control. Like any system in your vehicle, the ABS may encounter issues, warranting swift resolution for continued safety.
Common Reasons for ABS Light Illumination
- Faulty Wheel Speed Sensor
The ABS relies on wheel speed sensors placed inside the wheel hub or occasionally inside the transmission. Defective sensors or damaged wiring can disrupt the flow of essential wheel speed information, triggering the ABS light.
- Unresponsive Hydraulic Pump or Valve
The hydraulic valve, crucial for adjusting brake fluid pressure based on wheel speed, may become unresponsive due to wear, often from dirty brake fluid.
- Faulty ABS Module
Corrosion on the ABS module can impede information relay between the wheel speed sensor and the ABS. In rare instances, the module’s computer may fail, necessitating replacement.
- Low Fluid Levels
Adequate fluid levels are crucial for the ABS to regulate pressure effectively. Low fluid levels or excess air in the system can hinder the ABS’s functionality.
What to Expect?
Our top-rated mobile mechanic will visit your home or office, conducting a detailed inspection to identify the source and cause of the ABS issue. You’ll receive a comprehensive inspection report outlining the scope and cost of necessary repairs.
How It’s Done
Equipped with a scan tool, our mechanic communicates with the ABS module to diagnose the cause of the illuminated ABS light. They check the ABS fuse and meticulously review the entire ABS system for potential problems.
Why Is This Service Essential?
A functional ABS is paramount for safe braking. Ignoring ABS issues can compromise your ability to control the vehicle during sudden stops. Okayker ensures a thorough ABS light inspection to address concerns promptly.
