An
anti-lock braking system or anti-skid braking system (ABS) is an automobile
safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking, preventing the
wheels from locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding.
Antilock brake
system uses wheel
speed sensors to determine if one or more
wheels are trying to lock up during braking. If a wheel tries to lock up, a series of hydraulic valves limit or reduce the braking on that wheel. This prevents skidding and allows you to maintain steering contro
