What is ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)?

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an advanced safety feature in modern vehicles that enhances braking performance by preventing wheel lockup during heavy braking. It is a crucial component of a car's overall safety system.

How ABS Works: Wheel Speed Sensors: ABS relies on wheel speed sensors to monitor the speed of each wheel. These sensors send real-time data to the ABS control module.

ABS Control Module: The ABS control module analyzes the data received from wheel speed sensors. If it detects a wheel is about to lock up, it intervenes to modulate brake pressure.

Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU): The HCU is responsible for modulating brake pressure. It adjusts the brake force applied to each wheel independently, preventing wheel lockup while maintaining optimal braking performance.
