ABS System Repair Westerville

At Buckeye Complete Auto Care, we take a step-by-step approach to figuring out ABS brake problems. We always start with a computer scan to pull error codes from your car's brake control module.

Next, we visually inspect all your ABS parts—sensors, wires, hydraulic bits. Sometimes, issues don't show up in the computer but are obvious if you look.

We also take your car for a spin and test the brakes in real-world conditions. This helps us catch weird problems that only happen while driving.

Our standard ABS diagnostic procedure includes:

• Initial computer scan of the ABS module
• Complete visual inspection of all components
• Sensor resistance and voltage testing
• Hydraulic pressure evaluation
• Road testing under controlled conditions

We use diagnostic tools that are made for your car's brand, so we get accurate info. Sticking to the manufacturer's specs matters.

A lot of ABS issues come from stuff like dirty sensors or a nicked wire. Our detailed process helps you avoid paying for parts you don't need.

ABS System Components

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) in your car has a handful of key parts that all work together to stop your wheels from locking up when you brake hard. Knowing what these are can help you spot trouble before it gets serious.

Speed Sensors: These little guys keep track of each wheel's rotation and send data to the ABS control module. If a wheel starts to lock, the sensors notice the sudden slowdown.

ABS Control Module: Think of this as the brains. It takes info from the sensors and decides when to kick in the ABS during a panic stop.

Hydraulic Control Unit: This part has valves that control brake fluid pressure at each wheel. If the module senses a wheel's about to lock, it tells the hydraulic unit to ease off the pressure.

Pump: The ABS pump brings the pressure back up after the valves let some out. This whole back-and-forth can happen a bunch of times every second when ABS is working.

Warning Light: You'll see this on your dash if something's up with the ABS. If it lights up, it's time to swing by Buckeye Complete Auto Care for a check.
