The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is one of the most important safety features on modern vehicles, preventing wheel lockup during hard braking so you maintain steering control. This is especially critical on Spokane's icy and snow-packed winter roads, where locked wheels mean zero steering ability. When the ABS warning light comes on, the system may be disabled, leaving you with conventional brakes that can lock up on slippery surfaces.
ABS systems use wheel speed sensors, a hydraulic control module, and an electronic control unit to monitor each wheel and modulate brake pressure independently. Common failures include faulty wheel speed sensors, damaged tone rings, corroded wiring, and hydraulic module issues. Spokane's road conditions expose these sensors and connectors to salt, sand, and moisture, which accelerate corrosion and electrical failures.
At Clutch Auto Repair, we use professional-grade scan tools to read ABS fault codes and live data from wheel speed sensors. We pinpoint the root cause before recommending repairs, whether it is a sensor, wiring harness, or module issue. Call (509) 487-0161 for a quote on ABS diagnosis and repair.
