What Is An ABS Control Module System?

The anti-lock braking (ABS) control module is an important component of your vehicle's braking system. It's a computer that constantly receives information from the ABS speed sensors, and uses that data to prevent the vehicle from losing stability and traction in certain situations. An ABS control module system reset is one of the more rare services needed in a car's lifespan. Generally, the module shouldn't be needed through the lifespan of a car.

Common Signs And Symptoms That You Need To Reset Your ABS Control Module System

• Lack of skid protection in a turn, under hard acceleration, or during hard braking
• ABS light appears on the dashboard

How Important Is This Service?

If your ABS control module malfunctions, it will not disallow you from using the vehicle. However, if you have become very accustomed to the skid-prevention features or your vehicle and depending on your driving habits, driving without a working ABS control module could be dangerous.
