How ABS works

RE: How ABS works

Well, I know that the ABS on both of my vehicles only activates when the wheels begin to lock. There's sensors on each rotor to detect instantly when any of the wheels begin to lock and that's when the pulsing begins. Until then, the brakes act just like a non-ABS equipped vehicle.
