Anti-lock brake system (ABS) • If the running gear or brakes are modified, the effectiveness of the ABS could be severely limited. The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking during braking. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) is an important part of the vehicle's active Traction control system (TCS) safety system. The traction control system prevents the drive wheels from How the ABS works spinning when the car is accelerating.

The (TCS) driver is made aware of this control process by a pulsating of the brake pedal and audible noise. This is a deliberate warning to the driver that one or more TCS reduces engine power to help prevent the drive wheels of front-wheel of the wheels is tending to lock and the ABS control function has intervened. drive vehicles losing traction during acceleration.
