    Anti Lock Bracking System

    ABS uses wheel-speed sensors and electronic control units to monitor wheel speeds and compare them to detect lockup. It reduces hydraulic pressure to wheels that are locking up, similar to pumping the brakes but faster. This allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time, maintaining control during emergency stops especially on slippery roads. The driver should apply continuous, firm pressure to the brake pedal to activate ABS rather than pumping it.

    Anti-Lock Braking system

    ABS is an abbreviation for Anti-lock Braking System.


    The system helps the driver maintain some steering
    ability and avoid skidding while braking. The typical
    ABS system includes wheel-speed sensors, a
    hydraulic control unit, and an electronic control unit.
    When you apply the brake pedal, the electronic
    control unit monitors and compares the signals from
    the wheel-speed sensors. If the electronic control unit
    senses rapid deceleration (impending lock-up) at a
    given wheel, the electronic control unit commands the
    hydraulic control unit to reduce hydraulic pressure to
    that wheel. This type of pressure limiting is similar to
    pumping the brake pedal, only much faster. Some
    pick-up trucks and cargo vans have rear-wheel only
    ABS to handle different braking needs under different
    loading conditions. Since the ABS will not allow the
    tire to stop rotating, one can brake and steer at the
    same time. The braking and steering ability of the
    vehicle is limited by the amount of traction the tire can
    generate.
    Objective: - ABS was designed to help and maintain
    directional control during emergency stops and when
    road conditions are poor. By maintaining control, it
    enables us to have better chances of avoiding a
    crash. ABS is especially useful on wet and slippery
    roads. The person should never pump the brake
    pedal on a car with ABS, since the system itself
    controls the brakes automatically. The person applies
    firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal to
    activate ABS operation. When the ABS system
    operates, it generates a pulsating sensation from the
    brake pedal. When ABS operation is no longer
    needed, the braking system reverts to conventional
    hydraulic operation without intervention from the ABS
    system.
