ABS System
ABS Anti-lock Brake System
An anti-lock brake (ABS) system is an integral part of the braking system on modern cars. Brake fluid is easily contaminated and is sensitive to moisture.
Dodgy brake fluid can ruin the expensive ABS pump and rot the brake lines from the inside causing car mechanical problems.
Remember that brake fluid attracts moisture, so brake lines should be “bled” or purged at least once every three years, or as specified in your car’s owner manual. Following correct service procedures will help to protect your ABS system from damage or malfuction, such as inadvertantly engaging when your are driving.
If your brakes feel soft, spongy, too hard or you feel it takes too long to stop or longer than it used to, then you should book your car in for a car service to have those brakes looked at.
