The ABS light in the dashboard gets illuminated when there is an issue in the anti-braking system of the car. There are various factors like low fluid level, bad hydraulic pump or a bad ABS module which keeps the light on. In order to know the details about the reasons for an illuminated ABS light, see the below slides.

1. Reasons for an Illuminated
ABS Light

2. The ABSexists to avoidyour car
fromskiddingdangerously
duringbraking.

3. It is an automated safetysystem
that recognizes when yourwheels
stop rotating whileon the road
and it releasesbrake fluid
pressure allowing the wheels to
continueto rotate.

4. This improves the car's handling
and stops the car fromlockingup
and skidding out of the road.

5. The moment anyissue outbreaks
in the ABS, a corresponding light
named ABS glowsup on your
dashboard.

6. Here are some of the common
reasons for an illuminated ABS
light:

8. These sensors are built intoevery
wheel's hub, whichdeterminesthe rate
at which the wheels are moving&
transmits the datato the anti-lock
braking system(ABS).

9. Whenthe ABSgetsto knowthat
one or more wheelsare moving
slower than others, thenit
releases the brake fluidpressure
for uniform wheelmovement.

10. But if the speedsensor is a faulty
one,then the ABSwill detect that
and the warninglight gets flashed
on thedashboard.

12. The brakefluid plays a vital role
in controllingthe braking
pressure withinthe ABS.

13. Whenthe ABSfluidreservoir is
low, then the content of air is
more and the ABSwill not work
properly.

14. This alsoresults in the glowingof
the ABSlight on the dashboard.

16. When anywheel is moving slower
than others, then the hydraulic
valve is responsible for increasing
the brake fluid pressure.

17. As a result, the wheel does not
lose traction withthe ground and
the car remains stable.

18. This hydraulic pump may also be
damaged due to internal wear
because of the dirtybrake fluid
and its malfunction is conveyed
by the ABSlight.

20. A faultyABSmodule disturbsthe
transfer of information fromthe
speedsensorsin the wheels to the
ABS.

21. The problemin the relayof the
informationis mainlydue to
corrosion in the module or some
issuesin the wiring.

22. In suchcases, also the ABSlight
is on and indicates to replace the
ABSfunctional module.

24. The reason for the illuminated
ABSlight might have nothing to
do withthe ABS functional
module as the problem maybe
withthe light.

25. Regularchecks shouldbe done to
be sure that all the bulbs of the
car's warninglights on the
dashboardare working properly.

26. If the bulb of the ABSwarning
light is not functioning properly,
thenit might remainon all by
itself.
