Exploring ABS Anti-Lock Brakes: A Deep Dive into Function and Faults

Join us on an insightful journey into the world of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) as we delve deep into its functionality and common faults. In this comprehensive exploration, we uncover the intricate mechanisms behind the ABS system, how it enhances vehicle safety, and its pivotal role in modern automotive technology.
Whether you're a seasoned automotive enthusiast, a curious learner, or simply looking to understand more about how your vehicle operates, this video offers valuable insights. From understanding the principles of ABS operation to identifying potential faults and troubleshooting methods, we cover it all.
Got questions? What do anti-lock brakes do? Why do I have an anti-lock brakes warning light? Have I got anti-lock brake problems? We’ll answer them all.

nice , you mixed up understeer and oversteer! thanks

[@keeneyes2573]

I noticed that too.

[@garydenny7904]

Absolutely brilliant, great explanation and superbly creative 👏

[@Trev5]

Great video 👍

[@genuinecarworkshop6533]

Oh..tim sir...u r too good....u explained very well about ABS n TRACTION CONTROL....I m ur bigg...biggggg...fan...I wana to be ur student...u r my ideal technician..😊

[@cjrlsgameplayandmore5562]

great video. I have issue, when starting the vehicle, then I start to drive about 5 to to 10 mph, if I press the break I would feel like a grinding sensation on the pedal. but as I increase the speed the ABS and ESP/BAS light will come up and the grinding sensation on the pedal goes away. But the lights of course are still on. what could this be?

Harikasınız 🙏

Just find this channel and i Love it !!!!!! Oh I'm subscribing thanks for the videos.

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pricetagcitrus]

The animations and production here are great and deserves more views. Maybe you can get more if you focus on more American centric cars.

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Thank you for the feedback, we're glad you liked the video!

[@khalidacosta7133]

And this is why it's crucial to change brake fluid on time!

Hello Sir, I Subscribe your Channel... You have Very Good Knowledge... I want to learn lots of things from you...

Hi, Can you tell me where the crankshaft sensor is located on the 2012 Buick Verano Convenience? I’m trying to see where it is.

[@mohammedmoaiti4190]

Acadimic formative video thanks alot

Thank you! Glad you liked it 👍

I wish I found your videos earlier. Please make a video of how TCUs work

I have two 2008 Corollas. Both have an issue where the valves will stick after hard emergency braking such as in avoiding an obstacle, eventually resulting in severely warped discs. Several times techs have blamed stuck calipers, but I eventually ruled out all components but ABS. Wondering if others have observed this?

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Hi. Seized callipers can be a sign of a failing ABS unit. We have created a video specifically looking at brakes binding or seizing that you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKO2n2ODbNNsm6c. However if you have already diagnosed the issue as a potentially faulty ABS unit then you can send your unit into us for testing to confirm the fault and we can potentially re-build the unit. For more details please email our technical support team at [e-mail] with the following information. Everything you have stated in your comment, as well as any other relevant diagnostic information including fault codes, and finally the part number printed on your ABS unit. They will be able to advise you further. Thanks.

Sir, what's the difference between electrons and current... Some says flow of electrons is Current... and Some says Current is different and electrons are different...? What's Correct...? My Second Question...? Sir, in Car's battery Current flows in which direction...? Positive to Negative. Negative to Positive. Current and electrons are Same thing...?

[@jamesdowling706]

Hardly or I wouldn't have asked! Is it just the ring and the bearing that's mechanical then?

[@EriBarr]

I have a car that was parked for awhile.. when I test drove it everything was fine but one of the tires went flat.. i had it on a spare but didn’t drive it.. when I put on the replacement and drove it the abs, traction and service brake lights came on.. when I had the car scanned the abs passed with no codes.. but the lights haven’t turned off.. could I have damaged something while taking the wheel on or off? I did struggle a bit doing it

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Hi. As the warning lights came on immediately after the tyre replacement, it's worth checking and resetting the tyre pressures on all wheels to ensure they match the vehicle's recommended specifications. Differences in tyre pressure can affect wheel speed readings, which could trigger the ABS, traction, and service brake warning lights. Additionally, the difficulty you experienced while removing the wheel could have caused damage or misalignment to the wheel speed sensor or its related components, like the reluctor ring. Although your scan didn't show any ABS fault codes, there could still be an issue that wasn’t detected immediately, or the scanner might not have been able to pick up certain types of faults. Hope this helps!

Greetings from 🇰🇿.... It was instructive🇬🇧 👨🏼‍🔧👍🏻.... Not long ago I watched a video on the channel Evgeniy Irimiya 🇺🇦, about a faulty ABS unit on an Audi 2018, there are many nuances when buying a donor unit, since repairs are not cheap, if you do not live in Europe,(,EC) then they are not repairable....

[@jamesdowling706]

Great tutorial Can you tell me the difference between a mechanical abs code and an electrical fault keep up the good work

[@khalidacosta7133]

You've just answered your own question??

[@robertfrancisco1193]

how about testing and diagnosing with a BRAKE OUT BOX haven't seen much on using one for testing faults.

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Thanks for the suggestion! We hope you liked the video

I want to enroll to your online learning, do you have any promotional discount. More videos and more power💪

[@Gypsy_Danger_TMC]

Went on to your site and emailed but apparently you guys cant fix my model

[@voodoocars2134]

Good grief… I’ve just had my abs module at ECU testing and it was beyond repair apparently. I took a gamble on a used one from eBay which thankfully is ok.. phew. The symptoms I had were limp mode and no comms with diagnostics. I got lucky when I came across a KZbin video by Diagnostic Dan where he had a vehicle with exactly the same problem as me.

[@Ecutestinglimited]

Hi. Sadly not all units can be repaired. Our apologies that we couldn’t help you on this occasion, but we are glad you could get your vehicle back on the road.
