Description
Your ABS sensors send each wheel's speed to the ABS controlling unit. If one of the sensors fails, a warning light will appear on your display alerting you of the situation. When an ABS sensor fails, the system is no longer able to figure out what the average speed of all four wheels is. Let's say you hit a slick patch of the road and your right wheel starts to spin. Ordinarily, the ABS would see an increase in speed in that one wheel and correct the situation. With even just one sensor out, it will not. This can be a dangerous situation if the driver is accustomed to it. Replace your worn-out or broken sensors and make sure that everything is up to the task of snow, ice, and wet roads.
