Too Afraid to Ask

The ABS module is a small computer that helps your brakes work better by stopping the wheels from locking up when you brake hard. It tells the car how much pressure to put on each wheel.

Technical Definition

The ABS (Anti‑Lock Braking System) module controls the electronic braking logic that prevents wheel lockup during hard stops. It monitors wheel speed sensors and modulates brake pressure via the ABS pump.
