ABS and TCS replacement
After repairing or servicing the Anti-lock Braking System and Traction Control System in the car, the following problems are solved:
- Improved braking safety: Anti-lock Braking System prevents wheel locking during sudden braking, especially on slippery roads, allowing the driver to maintain vehicle control and stability, even in emergency situations.
- Better vehicle control: Traction Control System monitors engine torque and can temporarily reduce it if it detects that the wheels are starting to slip (for example, when accelerating on a slippery road). This helps the tires maintain traction, which is important for maintaining control of the vehicle and allows for more efficient, smooth acceleration.
- Improved braking performance: Anti-lock Braking System constantly monitors wheel speed and adjusts brake pressure on each wheel, maintaining vehicle control when braking hard on slippery roads.
- Reduced brake pad and rotor wear: Anti-lock Braking System helps brake components wear more evenly by preventing excessive heat and wear from wheel locking.
- Reduces Tire and Transmission Wear: Traction Control System helps reduce tire and transmission wear by preventing excessive slippage and sudden changes in torque.
It is important to note that any repairing or servicing of these systems must be carried out by qualified service personnel as improper servicing may result in serious safety issues.

ABS/Traction Control Light
The ABS and traction control lights are likely on due to driving on slippery terrain, indicating a "mode" the car activated. However, damaged brake and steering system sensors could send incorrect signals, causing the light to stay on continuously. Another possibility is problems with traction or brakes, such as low brake fluid.
Don't ignore those flashing ABS and traction control warning lights on your car's dashboard. They indicate that something is wrong with your vehicle's braking system, requiring immediate attention. The sooner you take action, the better, as the damage could become more severe, leading to costly repairs.
