Understanding Your Anti-Lock Brakes

Your anti-lock brake system, or ABS, consists of a hydraulic control unit (HCU), an anti-lock brake control module and both front and rear anti-lock brake sensors. When you apply the brakes, you essentially force brake fluid from master cylinder outlet ports to HCU inlet ports. From the HCU, pressure is transmitted through four solenoid valves to each wheel and your vehicle comes to a stop. During an emergency stop, the ABS modulates brake pressure in order to prevent wheel lock-up. If you would like to learn more about ABS, we invite you to drop by Meineke #1320 in Newark, NJ. Our friendly specialists know all about anti-lock brakes and how to care for them.

The Importance of ABS Systems

ABS brakes were designed to prevent lock-ups and skids but also offer a few other benefits. Some insurance companies offer discounts for having this safety device because it has a track record of effectively preventing accidents. ABS is standard on today’s vehicles. Without this system on your vehicle, you may not get the premium resale value. Although the ABS system cost does add to the overall cost of your car, it’s worth the added safety and value. Talk to the technicians at Meineke #1320 in Newark, NJ for more information about ABS brakes.

Trouble Signs That Indicate Brake Inspection is Needed

As long as they appear to work as they should, you probably give little thought to the condition of your anti-lock brakes. However, you may begin to hear a screeching noise when you use your brakes or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. You may also find that when you apply the brakes, they seem less responsive than usual, or that your car seems to be pulling to one side or the other. These are all signs that it’s time to let the specialists at Meineke #1320 in Newark, NJ, perform a thorough brake inspection.
