The ABS, or anti-lock braking system, uses wheel speed sensors to monitor each wheel's speed and prevent skidding during hard braking. When the system detects a wheel skidding, it temporarily reduces brake pressure on that wheel to regain control. If a wheel speed sensor fails, the ABS system is disabled, and the ABS warning light turns on. Regular checks can ensure the ABS system functions correctly, maintaining safe braking.

ABS or Antilock Braking Systems were first used on passenger vehicles in the 1980s and are now widely used by all vehicle manufacturers. When performing an emergency braking maneuver, if a wheel stops turning while the vehicle is still moving, the driver loses control of that wheel and may be unable to steer the vehicle around an obstacle while braking. Pressing the emergency stop button shows what happens when a wheel locks up. The driver applies the brakes, which pressurizes the brake fluid, forcing the brakes to apply at each wheel. Each wheel on the vehicle is also fitted with a wheel speed sensor. The speed sensor sends tells the ABS computer how fast each wheel is turning. If one wheel stops turning when all the other wheels are still rotating, the ABS computer causes the ABS controller to rapidly pulse the brake fluid pressure going to that wheel, momentarily releasing then reapplying the brake to prevent the wheel from skidding. This normally causes a buzzing sensation through the brake pedal and may flash an ABS light in the instrument cluster.
