Frequently asked questions about a ABS brakes repair

What is an ABS brakes failure?

If ABS brakes fail, the wheels may lock up during braking. This can cause a loss of control and be very dangerous, especially on slippery surfaces.

Is it okay to drive with the ABS lights on?

No. The ABS warning light indicates a problem with the braking system and driving is not recommended. It's important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

What’s the difference between ABS and normal brakes?

ABS stops the wheels from locking up during braking – this enhances control and reduces stopping distances. Normal breaks don’t have this feature.

Is ABS braking good or bad?

Having to emergency break is never good, but if it happens, your ABS system will improve vehicle control and safety. This makes it an important safety feature of your vehicle.

How much does it cost to repair ABS brakes?

The cost to repair ABS brakes depends on the vehicle and the extent of the repair.

What should you do if your anti-lock brakes warning light stays on?

If the ABS warning light stays on, get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. This light signals a problem with the system and should be looked at as a priority.

How often should ABS brakes be serviced?

ABS brakes should be inspected as part of your regular service – every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Can you drive with a broken ABS sensor?

A broken ABS sensor could affect the performance of your braking system, so it’s advisable to get it checked and repaired before driving.

What happens if you don’t fix ABS brakes?

If your ABS is left un-fixed, it can lead to loss of control during braking, increased stopping distances, and a higher risk of accidents.

Can I fix ABS brakes myself?

Don’t attempt to fix your ABS brakes yourself. They are complex and should be repaired by a professional mechanic.

Is ABS repair covered under warranty?

ABS repairs may be included in your warranty, depending on the terms. Check with your warranty provider to see if they are included.
