ABS Brakes FAQ

Postby KissmySS on Wed Feb 20, 2008 1:28 am

What are ABS brakes?
Anti-lock brake systems are both very simple and very complicated. The systems are marvels of engineering. The principles are simple: the ABS computer will "pump" your brakes for you thousands of times a second and brake the wheels with the most traction hardest, maximizing the efficiency of your system. If anything goes wrong, the ABS will simply stop working and your brakes will revert to standard operation.

ABS computer systems assume a properly functioning brake system, so their efficiency goes way down if your brakes are grabbing, pulling, or pulsating. ABS makes it more important than ever to have your brake work done with skilled technicians and the best parts.

It is doubly important to keep your brake hydraulics in good shape. This means doing periodic brake fluid flushes, as well as quickly replacing any leaking components. Leaks will allow foreign material into your system, potentially damaging extremely expensive ABS hydraulic parts.


Flush your brake fluid periodically.
