What Is an Anti Lock Braking System?

A car without anti lock brakes is vulnerable to uncontrolled skidding when braking, due to the risk of wheels locking up. The ABS system uses speed sensors to detect rapid decelerations, then controls the brakes through a series of valves positioned on the brake lines. The ABS uses a pump for restoring pressure to the brakes. The system is run by a control unit that processes the data from the sensors and controls the valves and the pump. Manufacturers continue to upgrade and improve anti-lock systems for faster reaction times and greater sensitivity. To find out details about your car’s system, visit Meineke #571 in Staten Island, NY. Why it's important / Benefits When should you get it repaired / inspected

How to Prevent ABS Failure

If your ABS fails, you can find yourself in a potentially very dangerous situation. Your anti lock system is what keeps your car from skidding or hydroplaning when you brake. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to signs that your brake system is impaired. One of the most common signs of an ABS problem is difficulty in applying the brake pedal, whether it offers more resistance or less than usual when you press it down. This type of problem is frequently related to brake fluid leakage or clogs and can arise whether you use silicone brake fluid or mineral brake fluid. If you notice a difference in brake pedal resistance, get your system checked at Meineke #571 in Staten Island, NY. How often to get a new one
