The typical ABS system includes wheel-speed sensors, a hydraulic control unit, and an electronic control unit. The “brain” behind your vehicle’s ABS system is the ABS Control Unit, more commonly referred to as the ABS electronic unit. When your ABS control unit fails or doesn’t release your brakes to prevent lockup properly, it might be time to replace that unit. This control unit senses when your wheels are about to lock up and properly pulses the brakes to prevent such a lockup. Most control units are found inside the cabin and should be replaced by a factory trained mechanic. Maintaining your ABS system should be something that’s done regularly, inserting the key in the ignition and turning it to the ON position should light up the ABS and brake lights momentarily and then turn them off. If they stay on, that might be a indication that somethings not right with your ABS system.
