Have you ever wanted to
know more about your auto repairs,

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.280
but were afraid to
ask your mechanic?

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.080
This brief video provides
you with information designed to

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.725
help you make the
right decisions about your auto

00:00:10.725 --> 00:00:14.645
repairs. The ABS sensor is part
of the analog brake system.

00:00:14.645 --> 00:00:18.550
It's located on the tires and monitors
the wheel speed on your car truck.

00:00:19.090 --> 00:00:21.570
This sensor works in
tandem with the electronic control

00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:24.550
module to keep your wheels
from locking up during braking.

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:28.335
Ask your service advisor to
check your ABS sensor and doing

00:00:28.335 --> 00:00:31.855
a routine brake service. But if
your ABS warning light is on,

00:00:31.855 --> 00:00:34.335
make sure to have the
sensors checked right away.

00:00:34.335 --> 00:00:36.990
Because if the ABS sensor
does not work correctly,

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.890
Your analog brake system will
not be there in an emergency.

00:00:41.230 --> 00:00:44.495
Ignoring a faulty ABS sensor
will cause bigger problems with

00:00:44.495 --> 00:00:45.855
electronic control module,

00:00:45.855 --> 00:00:48.595
and the whole analog braking
system might need to be replaced.

00:00:49.295 --> 00:00:51.055
And from a safety standpoint,

00:00:51.055 --> 00:00:53.970
a broken ABS sensor will
decrease your ability to stop

00:00:53.970 --> 00:00:57.030
in an emergency, endangering your
life and those of others.

00:00:58.690 --> 00:01:02.225
But there is no environmental
impact of an ABS sensor replacement.
